Special Lenten Services on Wednesdays at 10:30 am and 7:30 pm
These services are highlighted by dramatic readings that reflect on the story of Abraham and his family. The 7:30 pm service also includes our 8th graders giving their Witness to the Faith...a brief reflection on one of the pillars of our faith in Christ.
Also, each Wednesday at 6:15 pm we gather in the Life Center for a community meal prepared by one of the ministry groups of the church. The freewill offering collected will help support RefugeeOne and their work of supporting vulnerable communities in the Chicagoland area.
​
Furthermore, we are inviting everyone to participate in one of our mission projects. One project is asking people to collect 40 items to donate to agencies that can use them to support others in need. We have bags along with ideas of how to donate. Another project is our Easter Blessing Bags that give instructions on what to put in the bag so that clients of the Palos Food Pantry can have a blessed Easter meal. Resources for both of these projects can be found at the church so stop on by and take part in one or both of these meaningful projects.
