Welcome, new pastors, to the Northern Illinois Conference - UMC!

Welcoming new pastors to Northern Illinois!

Earlier this week, pastors who are new to ministry and those beginning their ministry in Northern Illinois gathered for New Pastor Orientation. The day offered an opportunity to connect with colleagues, learn more about the conference and, receive practical training for the journey ahead.

We’re grateful for these pastors and the gifts they bring to our churches and communities. Please join us in welcoming them and praying for them as they begin this new season of ministry.

Recently, the Nepal region suffered incredibly devastating floods. UMCOR is already at work to bring help and relief. Please pray for those affected and those responding. If you would like to donate to the relief effort, donations through UMCOR will fully (100%) go to that work.

Join us in prayer for those impacted by devastating flash flooding along the border of Nepal and Tibet today. We pray especially for the families and loved ones of those who have died or remain missing, and for those who have lost their homes and livelihoods.

As first responders assist survivors and search for the missing, UMCOR stands ready to support the response efforts of United Mission Nepal and other partners in the region.

Our support for UMCOR is making a difference.

Over the past week, people across the Midwest U.S. have been impacted by historic levels of flash flooding and severe storms. At least seven people have died, and thousands of residents have been affected by devastating home and infrastructure damage.

UMCOR is responding to the needs of these individuals and families through solidarity grants to the West Ohio Conference of The United Methodist Church and the Indiana Conference of The United Methodist Church - INUMC, which will amplify their relief efforts as they distribute supplies and support local churches that are preparing and distributing food and helping residents with flood clean-up.

The backpack tags (from Illustrated Ministry) we gave out this year are not just about blessing those who got the tag, but about how those with the tags will bless others. Part of our identity at Faith UMC is that we want to be neighbors to all. May those in need of a friend or neighbor find one in us this year.
