This annual event will be held at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church on Saturday, August 12 and is a partnership of the Barrington Giving Day organization and local Barrington churches.
We will be participating by collecting new and gently used clothes and shoes. Besides donations of the items listed below, we will be looking for people to sort and help during the event as greeters, shoppers, checkout, inventory and tear down. More details are posted on the Barrington Giving Day website.
If you have items you want to donate, please drop them off in the marked plastic bins across from the Welcome Desk.

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Today, 1 in 9 people lives in extreme poverty, living on less than $1.90 a day. In the United States, 46.7 million Americans live in poverty and 795 million people around the world do not know where their next meal is coming from. As members of the ELCA, we are ca…
Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Today, 1 in 9 people lives in extreme poverty, living on less than $1.90 a day. In the United States, 46.7 million Americans live in poverty and 795 million people around the world do not know where their next meal is coming from.
As members of the ELCA, we are called to respond to this acute need. Your gifts to ELCA World Hunger help our church creatively and courageously work toward a world of justice in which all are fed.
Over the next 5 months, our congregation will be participating in the Metropolitan Chicago Synod’s initiative to help end world hunger by raising awareness and financial gifts. Our Synod’s goal is to raise $1 million by October 31, the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation. To date, $600,000 has been raised throughout the Chicago area.
Here are some ways you can participate:
- Check out some of the facts about world hunger posted on the reformation doors by the welcome desk.
- Signup for the Community Meal on Thursday, June 15 and join us in sharing a meal together
- Donate to the ELCA World Hunger appeal by using a pew envelope and marking it for World Hunger

This year's VBS theme is called Rome: Paul and the Underground Church and will take place from Monday, July 17 to Thursday, July 20. Each day, your child can become part of history as they see, hear, touch, and even taste what it was like to live in Rome during Bible times! They will explore authentic Marketplace shops, visit the Apostle Paul (who’s under house arrest), sneak to the cave where the Underground Church meets, take part in games, dance to lively Bible songs, and sample tasty tidbits while they discover more about the early church. These experiences make God’s Word come alive with new meaning for all who participate! Click here to learn more.
Sorry! Registration is NOW CLOSED.
