Glenview UMC and Nearby Fire Departments Donate Vehicles for Guatemala
Glenview UMC partnered with nearby fire departments to donate fire trucks and ambulances to Midwest Mission, which sent them to towns in Guatemala.
The NIC Anti-Racism Task Force presented an Arts and Culture Series to explore the unique art forms of different ethnicities. Quilts have played a significant role in American history and culture for centuries. Quilts are as unique as the people who create them.
As we journeyed together throughout the year to embrace the rich diversity of music, art, and history, the ARTF Series team invited participants to help in the making of an NIC Arts & Culture Quilt.
The submitters completed individual quilt individual blocks. The submissions came from NIC individuals, churches and organizations. The squares represent their culture, community, history, or art.
Individual squares were assembled into a final quilt by Ida VanBoven, a volunteer quilting coordinator from First UMC in Elmhurst. She added sashing, borders, binding, and a hanging pocket to the back.
The completed quilt will be hung in the Northern Illinois Conference Office and shared at the 2025 Annual Conference.
A booklet was created to accompany the quilt. In addition photos of each square, it provides the information about the quilters and the statement they provided about the square they created.
