I encourage you to check out this book! Community Event
Home Sweet Home's The Junction for unhoused writers. They’ve published a small collection of stories, poems, and essays by writers who attended the group! See the book on amazon here:

In March 2025, a writing group began at Home Sweet Home Mission's The Junction in Bloomington-Normal. The purpose was to create a safe space for building writing skills, practicing storytelling, and sharing work. Dozens of writers have come since the group began, showing up each week with passion...

Saturday June 27 & Sunday June 28
HELP CHRISTIANS IN THE HOLY LANDS
Since groups are no longer going on pilgrimages to the Holy Lands, the economy for Christians and others there have collapsed. The families and churches who depended on this industry are struggling. A group of Christians from the Bethlehem New Store will be coming here to our church on Saturday, June 27 and Sunday June 28. They will have olive wood and other religious crafts for purchase, primarily before and after worship. You can support the Christians in the Holy Lands, and get a beautiful gift (birthday or Christmas?). There are items from a variety of prices. Please plan to support this. Tell a friend or neighbor to stop by too.
