Children's Chapel is offered each Sunday morning upstairs in our very special worship space designed just for kids. We start the morning coloring a mural as we wait for our friends to arrive and then we process into the Chapel ringing bells and singing an anthem. The children are privileged to have clergy with us each week to share God's Word and then we join our families down in the sanctuary. Chapel is led by Debbie Stockert, Janey Paglini and Brooke Tolhurst. What a special blessing. 'sWorship 'sMinistries.

 Lombard Mennonite Peace Center, was our guest speaker. He encouraged us to find our voice and speak the truth in love.

Many are the talents of senior warden, Lucy Bickford!
She's a wife, mom, attorney, and faithful lay leader. But did you know that she's a coffee aficionado? She roasts her own beans and the CHS team had a chance to enjoy them today!

Confirmands recently spent time at the rectory with Father Luke and Meredith Back. They learned about Fr. Luke’s interests and explored what life was like for him before priesthood. Thank you, Meredith, for the batch of her famous cookies!
