FROM THE TINLEY JUNCTION<br />
Local churches ‘Do It Again’<br />
for Love INC of Tinley Park<br />
With a rainbow of churches<br />
singing “Do It Again,”<br />
they accomplished what<br />
they set out to do: support<br />
Love INC of Tinley Park and<br />
touch other lives.<br />
On Sept. 10, participating<br />
churches joined forces<br />
for a night of song and worship<br />
to bring awareness and<br />
raise funds for the religious<br />
partnership nonprofit that<br />
provides resources to help<br />
people in need.<br />
“It’s great to bring awareness<br />
to Love INC,” said Kim<br />
Sullivan, executive director<br />
of Love INC of Tinley Park.<br />
“What our primary focus and<br />
goal is to lift up the name of<br />
Jesus. We join together tonight<br />
in unity across denominational<br />
boundaries. We<br />
wanted to make sure we are<br />
multi-cultural, multi-racial<br />
and multi-denominational.<br />
Seeing everyone together<br />
makes God smile. He sees<br />
his children getting together<br />
and putting aside their differences<br />
for a few hours.”<br />
Tinley Park’s Christian<br />
Life Center was the site for<br />
the annual gathering which<br />
also was supported by Zion<br />
Lutheran Church, Anointed<br />
Word Church and New<br />
Lenox’s New Day Church.<br />
Love INC serves residents<br />
from those communities, as<br />
well as Orland Park, Matteson,<br />
Mokena, Oak Forest,<br />
Frankfort and Country Club<br />
Hills.<br />
“Our goal is to serve 1,000<br />
needs this year,” Sullivan<br />
said. “Last year, we met 720<br />
needs. The end of the year<br />
is a big time for us to meet<br />
needs. Right now, Love INC<br />
is about a little over 400<br />
needs met so far. We are<br />
looking to touch needs in the<br />
greater Tinley Park area with<br />
the love of Christ.”<br />

FROM THE NEW LENOX PATRIOT<br />
Local travels to North<br />
Carolina to provide aid in<br />
midst of Hurricane Florence<br />
As Hurricane Florence<br />
threatened the east coast, a<br />
New Lenox resident already<br />
was on site in North Carolina<br />
to help those impacted.<br />
Steve Wise, along with<br />
other American Red Cross<br />
volunteers and staff members,<br />
were deployed on Sept.<br />
11 to Durham, North Carolina,<br />
for three weeks for the<br />
disaster-relief mission.<br />
Wise’s role is to be on<br />
hand at the mega shelter. It is<br />
a responsibility with which<br />
he is familiar already, having<br />
helped at the mega shelter in<br />
Dallas last year after Hurricane<br />
Harvey flooded the<br />
Houston area.<br />
In Durham, he said he<br />
will serve in a community<br />
partnership role based in<br />
unified command, where he<br />
will work with agencies such<br />
as the Salvation Army and<br />
United Way to provide services<br />
to the occupants.<br />
“My wife and I were<br />
blessed throughout our lives<br />
and wanted to pay it back,”<br />
Wise said. “So, I found the<br />
Red Cross.”<br />
Wise, now retired, has been<br />
with the Red Cross for more<br />
than two years. The transition<br />
was seamless after retiring.<br />
He served as the senior manager<br />
of environmental health<br />
and safety for TTX, a rail car<br />
pooling company where he<br />
worked for 37 years.<br />
“You can’t put a price tag on<br />
helping somebody. ... Like last<br />
year, when I was at the mega<br />
shelter, I was able to help replace<br />
those tears with smiles,”<br />
he said. “And you could see<br />
the confidence in them that<br />
they know there are a lot of<br />
agencies out there that are<br />
willing to help them out, and<br />
they can recover from this.”<br />
