Holy Week is here! Nourish your spirit with these special services:

Sunday, April 13th – 10:30am Palm Sunday Celebration on Zoom

Thursday, April 17th – 7pm Maundy Thursday Tenebrae Service on Zoom, with special music by Debbie Southorn

Sunday, April 20th – 10:30am Joint Hybrid Easter Sunday Celebration, followed by a potluck feast in the Fellowship Hall, with First Church of the Brethren & Chicago Community Mennonite Church.



As part of a national campaign to End Childhood Hunger, our faith partner Bread for the World is asking congregations across the country to speak up on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves.
Nearly one in ten people around the world goes to bed hungry at night.
One in four children under age five is severely malnourished.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Every voice matters. With your support, we can reach the people with the power and resources to make hunger a problem of the past.

With your support, we can end hunger.

Churches, charities, food banks, and nonprofit organizations can’t solve hunger alone. Government programs and policies play an especially important role. Thanks to an abundance of resources, federal nutrition programs provide 10 times as much food assistance as private churches and charities combined.
When enough people speak up, government leaders listen.

Please urge Congress to protect and strengthen child nutrition programs.

Our Easter Service this year will be a joyful collaboration with First Church of the Brethren and Chicago Community Mennonite Church.

Trumpet! Cello! Organ AND Piano!
New life! Flowers! A Potluck Feast afterwards!
and of course…the resurrection.

You won’t want to miss it. 10:30am on Easter Sunday – April 20th

Please plan to stick around for Zoom Fellowship Hour on Sunday, April 27th for a guided conversation about our search for a new “hive”! We’ll share updates from each prospective location, and also look back on what we’ve learned during our nomadic years.
(Mark your calendars now for another session like this on May 25th!)

We will remember the Last Supper Jesus shared with his disciples at our Maundy Thursday service during Holy Week – but we gather every month for the Last Supper* Club on the last day of the month!

On Wednesday, April 30th, the Last Supper Club* will be hosted by Colleen Harper. RSVP to the Church Office by phone call, text, or email to save yourself a seat at the table!
