Welcome To Fourth Presbyterian Church

School Supply Drive

Our Annual School Supply Drive is underway! Many students delay their return to school until they can get the necessary supplies, putting them at a disadvantage for the whole year. Our goals are to provide 125 filled backpacks to children connected with the Chicago Avenue Community Garden and homeless students at Lincoln Park High School, to supply our 400 Tutoring students with paper, pens, etc., at their weekly one-to-one tutoring sessions, and to provide supplies for programs at Casa Central, Erie Charter School, and the Chicago Christian Industrial League. You can help by donating supplies (see the lists below), assisting at our backpack assembly on Thursday, August 21, or assisting with Coffee Hour (soliciting, receiving, or inventorying donations) during the months of July and August. For more information, contact Anne Ellis (312.573.3369).

• New Moms' Group
If you are expecting a child or have had a child within the last year, you are invited to join a New Moms’ Group. The purpose of the group is to make new friends and explore how faith can be a strong resource during these exciting and challenging times. Groups typically meet for eight weeks in a member’s home. Babysitters are provided, so moms are free to participate in discussions, or babies can stay with their moms.

Other activities include

Monthly Moms’ Night Out --- We gather at a restaurant for dinner the first Friday of every month.

Biannual Service Project --- We cook a meal for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House twice a year.

Great Expectations Shower --- We host a shower twice a year for expectant moms at Fourth Church.

To join a group or for more information email: newmomsgroup@fourthchurch.org
