Fellowship in Chicago

Posted by Dan and Carole McClelland

Dan and I , again, arrived safely to PA after spending a few weeks in Chicago with my family. Chicago was a blessing! Although, we do not have a home church in Chicago, we had amazing fellowship with sisters and brothers in Christ there. We had the opportunity to share what God is doing in our lives and fellowship at three churches in the Chicagoland area. One of the churches(also a elementary school) we visited asked us to be the mission of the month for 2 months. We are excited to have so many prayers and support behind us as we go.

We also had a blast with family and friends. Dan got to explore Chicago on foot for the first time as we took the "L" (train) to downtown Chicago and walked around seeing the lakefront, Navy Pier, Millennium Park, Water Tower, John Hancock and so much more. We enjoyed hanging out with my parents, my sister Michelle, her husband John and their daughter Lily and my brother Joe playing cards, going downtown and to the beach, etc. We went out to eat for Chicago style pizza and many more Chicago restaurants. We saw many family members and enjoyed catching up with them. My Uncle Paul gave me a gift to take a flying lesson, so I flew a plane along the lakefront of Chicago and over Navy Pier with Dan in the back seat. We made three roadtrips to see friend in Peoria, Schaumburg and Milwaukee, WI.

When we arrived home and opened all of our mail we were brought to praise and thanksgiving with all the letters of encouragement, prayers and finanical support we have received. Thank you so much.
