Men’s Technology Ministry
Atonement is in the formative stages of a new service ministry team designed to help with technology. The area of need is not in Barrington initially, but with the Community Room at Holy Family Lutheran Church in Chicago. They have computers for a number of after-school programs, and these are the only computers available for many of these kids outside of school. Over time these computers get plagued with the usual nuisances that make them unusable. Here’s where small team(s) of men come to help. Monthly checkups will ensure these computers are available for those who need them.
From Pastor Infelt at Holy Family: “There is no question that the effort is worthy. Not only is the lab used constantly by our children, but Heartland Alliance, which does the social services for our community including those in scattered site housing, uses our lab almost daily. A stronger lab could even attract broader use.”
