We arrived this evening at Thorncreek Reformed Church in South Holland, IL. Pastor Mark greeted us and we heard about different ministries we get to be a part of this week. So excited to see what God has in store for us this week! Pray with us as we seek Him and listen to His Holy Spirit.

We enjoyed church service and now are learning from Pastor Mark about the community of South Holland.

We all prayed together with the other group. We split up into small groups to pray for Pastor Mark and his family, Thorncreek church, the community of South Holland, and Chicago in general. We had a blessed time worshipping and praying as one body in Christ!

We stopped at the gas station for some goodies before ministry. It included pizza… for breakfast!

We’re doing several landscaping projects. Here’s an action shot that reminds us of these verses: ““I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes, and he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.” John 15:1-3 CSB

We are getting supplies for our project today. There’s a woman in need of a repair on her home and we are ready to get to work. We aren’t sure how Jamie feels about the situation based on his facial expression!

Pastor Chase never stops preaching. Whether it’s in a pulpit or holding an ice cream cone, God uses him wherever he is at.

We’re standing in front of the Ivy growing on the walls of Wrigley Field. It’s been growing for many years and is protected by Chicago. The designers of the field wanted this ballpark to look and feel like a park.
