ADVENT & CHRISTMAS SERVICES
We begin celebrating Advent on December 3rd this year. Advent continues through Sunday morning December 24th. Our services being at 10:00 AM. On Sunday December 17th we will be holding an abbreviated service of “Lessons & Carols” featuring our children, teens, and some adults. This will be the 10:00 AM service. Eucharist will follow.
On Christmas Eve, there will be no evening service, since this year Christmas Eve is on a Sunday. Many of our folks will be traveling and meeting with family that evening. There will be no Christmas Day service. We encourage anyone wanting to attend an Anglican Christmas Eve or Christmas morning service to join in with our sister congregation, All Souls Anglican Church, located at 25W741 Jewell Road in Wheaton (630-344-9510). Their Christmas Eve service begins at 7:00 PM and their Christmas Day service s at 10:00 AM
ADVENT & CHRISTMAS SEASON SERMON SERIES
Beginning on Sunday December 3rd we will begin an Advent and Christmas Season sermon series entitled, “A Change In Plans”. Often we make plans but then we need to make changes to those plans due to certain circumstances that arise or change. The main “Cast of Characters” in the Christmas narratives certainly had to do that. As as hear about how they dealt with changing their plans to fit in with God’s plans, we will learn lessons that will help us. Deacons Phil Kenyon and Jennifer Kang will be assisting Fr. George with this series.
SATURDAY MORNING BOOK GROUP
We meet every other Saturday morning via Zoom at 10 AM (Central Time), We have resumed our book discussion on September 16th. We are continuing our read and discussion of “Seeking God: Finding Another Kind of Life with St. Ignatius and Dallas Willard” by Trevor Hudson. If you plan to join us let Deacon Phil Kenyon know (wheatondeacon@yahoo.com).
