Make a Splash at Holy Family

Sunday, May 26, 2013 - 9:30am

Our current project benefits Holy Family School on Chicago's West Side. Through Holy Family's "Adventures in Learning Summer Camp," children take swimming lessons twice a week at a park district pool next door. The goal is to collect 80 swimsuits. At last count we needed 50 more! The last day to bring your donation is May 26th.  We need girls' one-piece suits and boys trunks in small medium and large.

Everyone living in the inner city during a Chicago summer should have a swimsuit! Please pick up an extra one when you go shopping for your swim suits this year. When you drop off your suit in the church lobby, put your name on the appropriate sheet so that we know what is still needed.

Pentecost Extravaganza!

Sunday, May 19, 2013 - 8:00am - 10:30am

The Holy Spirit blows a fresh wind into worship on Pentecost.

At the 10:30am service, the choir processes in singing global songs. Members from India sing native songs of praise and Thai dancers embody praise with their movement. The lesson from Acts is told in voices from many different countries. After both services there is wonderful food for a celebration worthy of the birthday of the Christian church.

Don't miss this last day of our regular program year. On May 26th we begin our summer worship hour at 9:30am.
