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 />
