Apologies that this is coming your way so late in the week –
and late in the day! It wasn’t until after a mind-clearing swim in the lake that your Weekly News editor remembered that she hadn’t sent it out yet…
Special Congregational Meeting – Sunday, Oct. 13 following the worship service
The Outreach Committee and the Immigrant Justice Task Force have allocated the last of their appropriations for 2024 with four months still remaining before the 2025 church budget is adopted.
Wellington has supported more than 30 organizations and programs in addition to the Bring Chicago Home campaign and the Voter Education Drive.
The endowment fund has earned about $500,000 so far this year, and so there is money to share without depleting the endowment.
Therefore, the Outreach Committee joins the Endowment Committee in unanimously offering and recommending a positive vote on the following resolution:
Be it moved that Wellington U.C.C. support the Endowment Committee’s proposal that an additional $50,000 be made available to the Outreach Committee in 2024
(with $10,000 of those funds to be allocated by the Immigrant Justice Task Force).
44 days until the Presidential Election – don’t delay!
Join Wellington’s 2024 Citizen Education Drive, because voting is faith in action.
Meg Evans & Margaret England are coordinating Wellington’s postcard drive to help turn out the vote.
Vote Forward is sending letters to younger individuals, encouraging them to vote. You can print off letters from home & mail them – click here for more info.

We’d love to organize some Wellington days to go door-to-door in neighboring states. Would you be willing to coordinate these efforts? If so, let Dick Simpson know!Additionally, Wellington is contributing $5,000 to Continuing the Conversation to send 400 canvassers to the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania to contact 10,000 voters in person between Labor Day and Election Day. (This is a 503c3 organization not a Political Action Committee.)
And if you happen to have some money burning hole in your pocket…Dick has personal recommendations about the 12 most important campaigns to support! CLICK HERE to read them!
We are in this fight together,
as we are one drum, one circle, one prayer.
Our very own Kryss Chupp was in D.C. last week to support Apache Stronghold as they presented their case to the U.S. Supreme Court! Click here to read more about this powerful event.

Music 4 the Soul
Last week Rev. Dr. Waltrina Middleton reminded us to step into challenging conversations with compassion.
