Next Painting Day
“Many hands make light (also bright & cheerful) work.” That’s how the hallways throughout our building now look, thanks to the many willing hands of a number of you who helped paint the NOW COMPLETED HALLWAYS. Thanks for your diligence! The next Paint Day is October 24. Pastor Herman is heading up a refurbishing the flag pole. We look forward to an American flag flying proudly day and night!

“Fire in My Heart” by Pastor George
Even though summer has bypassed Chicagoland, I had a strong taste of it this week as I spent the week in Southern California, enjoying 95+ degree temperatures and even the fragrance of the nearby Station Fires in Los Angeles. I sensed renewed “fire in my heart” as I gleaned from the life and ministry of Pastor Jack Hayford. Along with about 40 other senior pastors, I participated in one of Jack Hayford’s Schools of Pastoral Nurture. It was paid for…
An Invitation to Pray
Another Ramadan season is ending, the time when Muslims world-wide seek God through prayer, fasting, and extra financial giving. Wednesday night is named the Night of Power and is honored by pleading all-night long for God’s mercy and salvation. As Muslims gather around the world to seek God and ask for His special revelation, let us also remember to uphold our Muslim friends and neighbors in our prayers, asking for the true Jehovah to reveal Himself in the powerful person…
G.R.O.W. Kickoff 9/13
KICK-OFF TO GROW – SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13th! GROW stands for “Getting Rich on the Word” and it’s a one-hour-before-the-service opportunity to meet in small groups together, look at God’s Word, and apply it to our lives (whether we’re very young, very old, or in-between)! Healthy, consistent meals are needed for our bodies (and our spirits) to grow strong. We are committed to your “Getting Rich on the Word” if you are committed to getting up on Sunday mornings and being…
Prayer for our Nation’s Health Care Reform
Prayer for our Nation’s Health Care Reform (save this page to use in your daily prayer time) Lord Jesus, You are the Divine Physician, and the source of all life and health. Guide our nation at this critical moment, as our government seeks health care reforms. Give our elected officials the humility to know that they are servants, not masters. Give them the wisdom to realize that every life has equal value. Give them the strength to resist the idea…

Backpack Update!
Dear Church, Revival Temple was thrilled to receive the backpacks all stuffed and ready-to-go. They are excited about the outreach on Saturday, expecting at least 250 families from North School to attend. In addition to giving out backpacks there will also be free food, a clothing give-away, blood pressure and diabetes screening, a gospel presentation, a prayer station, and plenty of activities for children. With so much to offer, this event has been appropriately named Hopefest. It is clear to…
Abortion in Illinois
PRAISE GOD THAT THIS PAST TUESDAY, for the first time since Roe vs. Wade was decided, Illinois parents will be entitled to notification before their minor daughters are taken for abortions. The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit has dissolved the federal injunction against the Illinois Parental Notice of Abortion Act. This decision is the culmination of four years work by the Thomas More Society (TMS), particularly TMS Special Counsel Paul Linton. The Parental Notice Act (approved…
Moving Day… A Huge Success!
Thanks to all who lent a hand at yesterday’s moving day! Items were moved from our Chestnut Street building as well as from a rented storage unit. It was quite an “exhilarating feeling” knowing we are actually moving into 2313 Washington Street, after all the years of waiting. Now, though there is much to do, we proceed carefully and prayerfully, that our focus throughout be to bring glory to the Lord Jesus!
