Parables Community

Dear Illinois and Wisconsin District friends,

We would like to thank you for your support of our new church start Parables Community. We are delighted to tell you that with your help the Holding Hands Bike Rack in the new Playground for Everyone, a playground that is accessible to children with disabilities, is paid for in full! We are grateful for the support that we have received from the District Leadership Team and the Church Revitalization and Development Team. We also give thanks for congregations that have supported us, including the York Center and Polo congregations.

It takes a broad base of support to launch a new ministry and we appreciate our wider church family that encourages, challenges, and sustains us. Parables Community continues to seek new ways to reach out to and serve the community around us, particularly those with special needs. More than ever, we appreciate the diverse gifts that God has given to us in the Body of Christ. We look forward to 2017 and the new opportunities that it brings for the mission and ministry of our church.

Yours, in Christ's Service,
Jeanne Davies
Planting Pastor
