Inspired by the example set by the United Parish in
Brookline, MA, the Wellington Worship Committee has made a commitment to “pay royalties” each time we sing a Negro Spiritual in worship to honor the legacy of enslaved African Americans.
We will “pay royalties” by making a quarterly donation to The People’s Music School, supporting the development of young Black students and a wealth of students of colors as Chicago-area musicians.

We invite you to give generously to our June Helping Hands offering, which will support this endeavor!

JOIN US FOR A REUNION WITH TIMELINE THEATER,
THURSDAY, AUGUST 11TH, 7:30 PM
Let’s show up together to applaud another of Timeline’s wonderful theater productions! As well as honoring our long time association with Timeline, it should be a lively, fun, and informative event – a welcome alternative to the “dog days” of summer. Due to some difficulty in using facilities at 615 W. Wellington, play performances are being held at Theater Wit at 1229 W. Belmont. There is parking nearby.
The August production is titled Campaign, Inc., the story of Upton Sinclair, internationally known author and socialist, and his run for governor of California in 1934. His platform EPIC, End Poverty in California, stirred up tremendous political uproar and changed the tools of American electoral, political, and social policies for the future.
Tickets ordinarily cost $40 – $54 per performance, but if we can assemble a group of 10 or more, ticket cost would be $34 – $46 (group rate). So, we are advertising the event early…. Currently we need to hear from 2-4 more people to have a group of 10 and reserve tickets at the group rate.
- Put August 11th on your calendar and register with the church office or text Debbie Lee (773/490-6506) ASAP if you can attend the play.
- If we have a group of 10, you’ll be notified of the actual ticket cost which can be paid for on the church’s Tithely site.
- **We must be Early Birds in order to benefit from ticket discounts and to register as a group with Timeline, so please register your attendance as soon as possible!
