<p style="text-align: left;">About:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Chicago Covenant Softball League consists of several Chicago-area Evangelical Covenant Churches. Not only are the softball games fun and entertaining, they&#8217;re a great way to spend summer evenings with friends and our greater Covenant Family.  All of our games are played at <a title="Winnemac Park Map" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=winnemac+park&amp;aq=&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=55.849851,79.013672&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=winnemac+park&amp;ll=41.973753,-87.682872&amp;spn=0.025939,0.038581&amp;z=15&amp;iwloc=A" target="_blank">Winnemac Park</a> near Foster and Damen.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>North Park Covenant Church has had a long tradition of supporting great camping ministries.  We&#8217;re blessed to have two camps in our regional conference to partner with: <a href="http://www.covenantharbor.org/">Covenant Harbor Bible Camp</a> in Lake Geneva, WI and <a href="http://www.cpbc.com/">Covenant Point Bible Camp</a> in Iron River, MI.  Dozens of our children and youth attend week long sessions of summer camp where they play, grow, make new friends, and grow deeper in their love for Jesus.  North Park is committed to supporting our youth and children who go to camp.  For more information on registering for summer camp contact Paula Schuetz in the church office.</p>
<p>Our annual pancake breakfast raises funds to provide scholarship for kids to attend summer camp.  Thank you to all who participated!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Join us as we <strong>Watch</strong> God at Work and <strong>Wonder</strong> about God&#8217;s Amazing Love!</p>
<p>Sunday School is available for all children in preschool through 12<sup>th</sup> grade.  Those children in preschool through 4<sup>th</sup> grade are invited to come and be a part of a rotational, VBS-style curriculum that includes everything from puppets and role playing to cooking, painting, and games.  Children in 5<sup>th</sup> and 6<sup>th</sup> grade are invited to join us in a Bible study type Sunday morning class. These two groups meet each Sunday at 9:45 in our junior chapel (lower level of the church).</p>
<p>Young people in 7<sup>th</sup> and 8<sup>th</sup> grade are invited to join in Confirmation classes, held in the lower level large conference room.  Youth in grades 9-12 meet for Sunday school in the youth room on the second floor of the south wing.</p>
<p>Options for adult Sunday school include a Bible study of the week&#8217;s lectionary readings, which meets in the north chapel off the main sanctuary.  Adult classes on special topics usually gather in the parlors in the lower level of the church.</p>
