“Black + Evangelical” Documentary Screening - July 17th
Community Christian Church in Naperville is hosting a showing of the new documentary “Black + Evangelical” on Thursday, July 17th at 7pm. The film is an in depth look through story and interview of this sometimes positive, often tenuous relationship from the black perspective.
The film was co-created by former Executive Director of Communications for the Evangelical Covenant Church and NaperCov member Ed Gilbreath along with Dr. Vincent Bacote, Professor of Theology and Director of the Center for Applied Christian Ethics at Wheaton College. Both will be present to introduce the film as well as to engage in a Q&A time at the end.
Three of the interviewees are members of the Evangelical Covenant Church: Stan Long, Henry Greenidge, and Soong-Chan Rah. Nilwona Nowlin has written a very positive review of the film in the Summer 2025 edition of The Covenant Companion.
Volunteer for The Pearl’s Senior Summer Camp - July 21-25
NaperCov will be continuing our summer tradition of assisting The Pearl of Naperville with their Senior Summer Camp, which will be taking place from July 21st-25th. We are seeking volunteers to assist from 1:00-4:00 p.m. with crafts, games, and other activities. This is a great opportunity to reflect God’s love to our community. If you’re interested in volunteering, please contact Pastor Josiah or David Sladkey.
Summer Camp Registration Now Open
