Prayer Group
2019-02-13 10:00 - 11:00 UTC
We are studying Praying God’s Will for Your Life, by Stormie Omartian. The book is $17.99; a limited quantity is available in the church office.
Praying God’s Will for Your Life is not a book about finding the right person to marry or deciding on a career. It is a book about a way of life and a heart attitude that are God’s will for everyone who knows Him. That way of life encompasses three important components:

An intimate relationship with God
A solid foundation in God’s truth
A commitment to obedience

Please continue to pray for those members and friends on the prayer list.

United Methodist Men's Meeting
2019-03-02 09:00 - 10:30 UTC
We meet every 1st Saturday of the month for fellowship, food, and faith-building at 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Every man of the church and community is welcome to our fellowship.
Our mission is to support spiritual growth among men, helping men to mature as disciples as they encourage spiritual formation in others. We strive to strengthen the bond of men within the church and to nurture one another in ministry. One of the goals of the United Methodist Men is to reach out to pre-Christian and de-churched men in order to get them back into a right relationship with Jesus Christ.

Ash Wednesday
2019-03-06 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Chicago)
The season of Lent begins with our March 6 Ash Wednesday Service, centering on a solemn call to fasting and repentance as we begin our forty-day journey to Easter. During this season the people of God are called to reflect on the meaning of their relationship with Christ—his life, death, and resurrection. The sign of ashes suggests our human mortality and frailty. But what seems like an ending is really an invitation to make each day a new beginning in which we are washed in God’s mercy and forgiveness. With the cross on our brow, we set our hearts and minds on the spiritual renewal that is made possible through the Good News of Easter which awaits us at the end of this holy season. Join us on Wednesday, March 6 at 7 pm in the sanctuary as we begin the Lenten journey together.

Election Day 2019
2019-04-02
Chicagoans will head to the polls on April 2 to vote in the runoff election for a new mayor, a new treasurer and in some cases, for their ward’s City Council seat. Election law dictates that in races where no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote outright in the Feb. 26 election, voters have to cast their ballots once more in a runoff election between the top two candidates.
Find out more about the candidates here.

Theme: Our theme for the 2019 session of the Annual Conference is “Back to the Future.” No, we won’t be time warping in a DeLorean like Marty McFly in the 1980s classic sci-fi flick who needs to make sure the past doesn’t change so he will still exist, but we will be recalling, reimagining, and reclaiming our history for a hopeful future.
Celebrations: We will celebrate our 180th year as a conference together along with Global Ministries, which is celebrating its bicentennial in 2019 and United Methodist Women, which is observing its 150th anniversary.
