Sponsored by the Northern Illinois Synod Congregational Life Committee

The Northern Illinois Synod’s Congregational Resourcing Event is one of this synod’s finest yearly events. Church council members, teachers, musicians, staff, volunteers, and leaders--just about everyone in a congregation--can take advantage of this learning event to strengthen skills, gather resources, network with others, and discover new ways to enhance congregational and individual ministries. Come, experience and bring home new ministry tools.

The Congregational Resourcing Event (CRE) will offer many varied educational workshop selections for you, your key congregational leaders, and other interested congregation members. Many groups, agencies, and institutions will have displays.

During the CRE Worship, a special offering will be taken. Please plan to give generously. If you'd like to send a check, please make it out to Northern Illinois Synod
