Faith In Action

St. Paul’s is dedicated to giving our time, talents, and resources to each other and the neighbors God has given us.

Meals for Roberti House

Each Wednesday morning we prepare meals for the people who visit Roberti Community House in Waukegan. We are always looking for more helping hands. Check the calendar on Happenings for the meal prep times or contact the church office for more information.

Plant a Tree

**Help the Earth and help our neighborhood.**
**Saturday, Oct. 18**
We've been blessed with a wonderful opportunity to heed our calling to care for God's good creation by adding more than 30 trees to our neighborhood thanks to a Tree Planters Grant from Openlands.

The conservation group will provide the trees and expertise while we work with families from Whittier Elementary School to plant the trees on Saturday, October 18.

How can you help? Sign up here to be part of the planting effort.

**Clothes to You**

Clothes to You has a monthly giveaway every first Saturday of the month from 9:00am to 11:00am. (except for January & February)
The volunteers deeply appreciate the many donations recently received for the monthly giveaways and we are now accepting winter donations (coats, boots, gloves, scarves, hats, etc).

***We are always in need of men's jeans.*** Jeans are in high demand and those items are few and far between.

Thank you again for keeping this ministry well stocked!

**Donations can be dropped off at the church before or after worship or by calling the church office to arrange a time to drop-off your donations.**
Because our space is so limited, ***we can only accept clothes and shoes.*** We are unable to take other items such as toys, linens and blankets. We simply do not have the room!
**We need volunteers!** Please contact the church office or come to the next sorting day, as listed on the calendar (click on the Happenings tab).
