1992 North Park
Commendation to North Park College for its Urban Outreach
Adopted by the Annual Meeting of The Evangelical
Covenant Church, June, 1992. Presented by the ECC Christian Action
Commission.
The Commission on Christian Action commends North Park College in its
centennial year for the development of an exemplary urban outreach program.
Up to 45 percent of the student body has been involved in one or more
of the varied activities, offering an opportunity for students to grow
and learn in non-academic areas while helping people in need. Examples
include: Adopt a Grandparent, tutoring children and adults in the community,
baby and childcare at Cook County Hospital, food pantry, Habitat for Humanity,
shelter for the homeless, tutoring at Cook County Jail, pet therapy, care
for physically and mentally handicapped persons, and several others.
While celebrating these many visible expressions of Christian action,
the commission at the same time offers commendation to all those congregations
in the Evangelical Covenant Church that participate in similar outreach
programs. It remains a continuing goal of the commission that every congregation
will develop outreach programs that exemplify caring and compassion for
all God's children.
