Weekly WILD update
Time is flying by! The interns are already in the third week of their program.
We hope many Wellingtonians
will attend the graduation ceremony at
6pm on Thursday, July 28th
at Grace Place ~ 637 S. Dearborn, Chicago, IL
Please RSVP here!
Debbie Southorn shares this update with us –
“During the second week, we learned about the city’s budget, and how they currently give over 40% to the police while community services receive a fraction of that investment.
We also went canvassing for the #TreatmentNotTraumacampaign, which wants to expand free public mental health clinics and a non-police crisis response system across Chicago.
Our teams have been studying how to build grassroots campaigns, using direct action to achieve our goals.”
Coming Soon!
What’s Up?
Congregational Life
THIS THURSDAY, July 21st from 6:30-9pm
Jeff Tweedy and the Students of The People’s Music School Live in Concert at Pritzker Pavilion
Pack a picnic & come join folks from Wellington at a lovely summer outing! Chris will arrive early to save space for Wellington people.
The People’s Music School is our partner organization for paying reparations for Negro spirituals, so this is a great opportunity to hear their students open for Jeff Tweedy & play alongside him.
Interested? Let Chris or Brenda or Donna know!
At the June Congregational Meeting, we voted to focus this next year on finding a more permanent home for Wellington.
That raises lots of questions like –
What kind of worship schedule do we envision in our future?
Do we ever see ourselves returning to weekly
in person/hybrid services?
Are we interested in a shared space?
If so, how often would we want to use it/have access to it?
The Worship Committee invites anyone interested in discussing these questions to join us at our next meeting ~
6pm on Monday, August 1st!
We’d love to include as many voices as possible in the conversation, so please come if you can!
Join by Zoom or in person.
