Love INC Fundraiser June 25

On Tuesday, June 25, from 5-8pm, you are invited to a fun-filled evening of good food and fellowship at Culver's, 1200 DeKalb Avenue, Sycamore.  Love INC will receive 10% of all sales during those hours.  We are blessed to have the support of our partner churches, along with all other community churches and organizations that believe in the mission and work of Love INC of DeKalb/Sycamore.  Please join us and be sure to watch for Love INC Board Members who will be helping Culver's with serving!

Interested in Membership at Salem?

A new member inquiry gathering (for conversation and questions) will be held Sunday, June 23, at 9:15am in Chapel Lounge.  Coffee, juice, and muffins will be provided.  Please come and meet some people from our congregation and any others who may be interested in joining.

Photo Help Needed June 23

Salem's Archive Committee has old Salem photos and we need your help!

We would like to identify as many congregation members as we can in the various photos and we are hoping you will be able to lend us an hour of your time to help out.

On Sunday, June 23, we are asking you to join us in Fellowship Hall from 9:15 to 10:15 to help us put names with faces on photos we want to keep in the archives as a part of Salem's history.  There will be old photos and newer photos so we could use assistance from all age groups.  And who knows, maybe it will also be an opportunity to learn a bit of Salem's history and re-live some of those special moments we have all enjoyed at Salem events throughout the years.
