 Culver’s will donate 10% of all sales during that time period to
their fund to help the missions of their Sister church, St. John
United Church of Christ in south Chicago.
During the past year many of the old churches in Chicago area have
been tagged for the wrecking ball due to some potential safety
issues. St. John UCC in chicago is now one of those whose ministry
to the homeless and low income families and the AAA shelter have all
been moved to the parsonage.
The food pantry, clothing needs, counseling and worship will
continue until a new building can be made ready, which will include
installing the many famous stained glass windows (now in storage),
made in Germany for the original church built in 1882.

St. John UCC in Lincoln has been a ‘Sister Church” with St. John UCC in Chicago
since the early 1970’s with youth exchanges, mission trips, and other shared
ministries throughout the years.
The current pastor in Chicago, the Rev. Charlotte Nold has been the ‘Signer” not
only for those with hearing impairment in this church but also for many
community and wider church functions for over 25 years along with being pastor
there with all their mission outreach.
