In the last decade or so, CEF has had a program called Adopt-a-School, where local churches commit to adopting a local school and making it their mission field. The primary focus of this program is to have an afterschool Good News Club funded, supported, and staffed by the adopting church. In our chapter, we have had three churches come on and adopt a school for a Good News Club: Second Baptist Church of Joliet, Alpha Missionary Baptist Church of Bolingbrook, and First Baptist Church of Morris. For years, these three churches have faithfully run GNC in their adopted schools through CEF.
This year one new church has joined the ranks: Church of the Good Shepard Evangelical Covenant of Joliet. They will be adopting Crystal Lawns Elementary School. We are really excited to see this church join us to reach the kids of Crystal Lawns.
Just yesterday, we met with a local church in New Lenox. They are considering officially adopting a school in New Lenox. The pastor has expressed interest and will present the opportunity to his congregation and church leadership. Pray with me that this local church will adopt this school in New Lenox so we can share God's Word with the children of our chapter.
