His Heart And Hands Sunday & International Dinner
Coming on November 2, 2008 we will be formally introducing our new ministry with a His Heart and Hands Sunday, and hosting an informational dinner. The international dinner will be at Orland Park Church at 12:00 noon.
At this dinner we will share with those attending the visions of our ministry. Johnny Carr will be our main guest speaker. He will share his passion for the need for adoption.
There will be opportunities for those interested in sponsoring children in a Honduras orphanage to sign up for one or more children in need of sponsors. You will also have the opportunity to support this ministry with prayers and financially. God has called us to be His heart and hands to those who need us. So let's open our hearts and hands. More details and information on this event will be available later.

54 Backpacks For Foster Kids!
How awesome! The response was GREAT! With only a few weeks notice and the generosity of so many of Orland Park Church members, we were able to put together 54 backpacks of school supplies together for the Lutheran Social Services of Illinois. Lutheran Social Services of Illinois each year, for the past several years, has handed out free backpacks to foster kids at their Heath and Education Expo.
It was exciting to see the bin set aside for dropping off school supplies fill so quickly each Sunday! Our task force had so much fun getting together on Sunday night, August 3rd, to fill each of these backpacks not only with school supplies, but all passing on the caring hearts of all those who had a part in our "Backpacks for foster kids" event.
