Spreading Joy, One Stitch at a Time
Libby Novack’s confirmation project is all about spreading joy through small crocheted creations, and we’re so thankful to everyone who joined us in May for our joyful making session!
Want to get involved? You’re invited to knit or crochet pocket-sized creations anytime and drop it in the bin located in the Gathering Space at church. Yarn is available under the nursery desk, and if you're looking for ideas or patterns,
feel free to email Faith Vittitoe at faithv@gmail.com. We’ll be collecting these cheerful little creations through the end
of July—thank you for helping us share a little handmade happiness!
CLC Social Ministry and Mission June 2025 As you do
it for the least of these, you do it for Christ. (Matthew 25:40)
Social Ministry Emphases for June. Each month the Social Ministry highlights a special giving opportunity. June’s emphasis is providing support for the Food Bank
of Northwest Indiana http://www.foodbanknwi.org and Project Neighbors https://projectneighbors.org or https://www.facebook.com/ProjectNeighbors. The Food Bank of Northwest Indiana’s (FBNI) mission is “to provide food for hungry people in NW Indiana through a network of charities increasing public awareness and advocating solutions for the issues involved with hunger and acting as an info &referral source to the community”. FBNI is based in Merrillville and is affiliated with and meets the guidelines of Feeding America www.feedingamerica.org and distributes over 2 million pounds of goods/year through 90 network charities in NW Indiana. Project Neighbors (454 College Ave.) is a Not-for-Profit organization in Valpo. By addressing issues of race, class and poverty, Project Neighbors’ goal is to build healthy families and neighborhoods, where diversity of all kinds is welcomed and cherished. Project Neighbors’ accomplishments in Valparaiso include affordable housing at Caroline's Place and Neighbor's Place and Respite House, childcare and preschool at Hilltop House, community health centers in HealthLinc, and the region's only low-power, all-volunteer community radio station, WVLP, among other “risks-turned-rewards.” Use your weekly worship giving envelope mailed with check to CLC and indicate “FBNWI/PN” or contribute through Subsplash on the CLC website https://clcvalpo.org via the “Give” button and choose Monthly Social Ministry Emphasis. Thank you to members for supporting the monthly social ministry emphases.
