UPCOMING EVENTS

Dave Safeblade would love to see you at Coffee Talk! Pop in to share some news, ask for prayers, or just visit with friends!

Want to host a Last Supper in 2024? 


Please let Claudette know – she still has a few spots to fill! Just tell her how many guests you can host, and she’ll give you a date.

New Hosts are also invited to the “orientation dinner” at Ann-Louise’s home on Wednesday, January 31st
at 6pm!

Plan to stay after church on February 4th for a special Fellowship Hour!

We’ve invited the members of North Shore Baptist Church to join us at a brief teach-in about Bring Chicago Home. Organizers from ONE Northside will answer any questions you have about this initiative, and share how we can help pass this life-changing referendum at the ballot box on March 19th.

Remember – this proposed change to the Real Estate Transfer Tax, which is paid only when a building is sold, will only impact around 4% of sales across the city. This small change will create an annual revenue stream of $100 million dollars to address & combat homelessness in Chicago.

The International Court of Justice has ruled…

over 25,000 Gazans have been killed…

and we still don’t have a ceasefire.

CALL. EMAIL. ORGANIZE 
for a PERMANENT Cease Fire TODAY!


Music 4 the Soul

For two years, Wellington has paid Negro Spiritual Reparations

to the Greater South Side Site of

The People’s Music School whenever we sing a Spiritual in worship.

You will hear more in the weeks ahead about Wellington’s
relationship with The People’s Music School.

In the meantime, clink on the link below,

for some background on the roots of Spirituals.

At the Washington National Cathedral, Howard University and Wesley Theological Seminary hosted a concert that featured spirituals, the great Christian music of African slaves in the United States. Rev. Kelly Brown Douglas, the cathedral’s canon theologian, talks about the history of spirituals and their ever-relevant message of faith and freedom.
