United Methodist Church of New Lenox Meets $10,000 Goal for Malaria

LOL! It was a great night of comedy April 24th when over 250 attended the “Life Happens Laugh Anyway” show starring Christian comedienne Tracy DeGraaf. The audience enjoyed Tracy’s lighthearted humor about raising her five boys in today’s world. Local businesses donated door prizes and supported the show through sponsorships. The purpose of the event was to raise funds for Imagine No Malaria, the United Methodist church-wide effort to overcome malaria in Africa. Every 60 seconds, a child in Africa dies from malaria. Ticket sales, a generous offering, and proceeds from items sold at the show resulted in the United Methodist Church of New Lenox exceeding their goal of raising $10,000 to help eradicate malaria in Africa. Many thanks to all who contributed to the success of Imagine No Malaria!
