Sunday morning fellowship hour
SUNDAY MORNING FELLOWSHIP HOUR
Remain after the Sunday morning service for fellowship and "coffee and" the second Sunday of each month (September through June). Other Sunday fellowships occasionally occur as families of the church celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and other milestones in their lives with the congregation.
PRESBEES is a monthly fellowship group that welcomes both married couples and singles. It meets on the 2nd Saturday of every month except July and August. Meetings traditionally begin at 5:30 p.m. with a potluck dinner followed by a program and business meeting.
Programs can vary from having speakers on a variety of subjects, both current and historical, to interesting videos and slide presentations, to BINGO night, to a dinner night out at Christmas time.
Come spend one day a month with a group of women who enjoy fellowship, food and the making of a variety of crafts. There are plenty of tasks to do for non-sewers so all women are welcome.
Our primary purpose is to make pillows, lap robes, hats, sweaters, etc. for distribution to V.A. hospitals, emergency shelters for victims of domestic violence and other organizations that serve families and children in need. Twice a year (July and November), we offer the people of our church the opportunity to purchase our pillows and crafts. This provides us with revenue for our other charitable pursuits.
We meet the first Wednesday of each month (September through June) from 9:30 a.m. until approximately 2:30 p.m. Bring a dish to pass for lunch. Call the church office at 708-449-7171 for more information.
If you enjoy live theater and are looking for a group of theater enthusiasts to attend the Drury Lane productions, then The Sophisticates are for you. The group enjoys the fellowship of a luncheon before attending the play either at Drury Lane or at one of the local restaurants.
The Advent Festival occurs the fourth Sunday before Christmas after the Sunday morning worship service. The Advent Season is a time of preparation for the coming of the Christ child.
The festival offers opportunities for adults and children to make Christmas crafts, to fellowship with each other over lunch, to sing the first carols of the season and to read the nativity scriptures. What a wonderful way to begin the Christmas Season!
Lent begins with Ash Wednesday which occurs six weeks before Easter Sunday. Six churches in the area join together on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 p.m. to fellowship together and enjoy a soup supper. A program follows each supper.
EASTER BREAKFAST AND CHILDREN'S ACTIVITIES
An Easter breakfast is served beginning at 8:00 a.m. between the early 7:30 a.m. service and the 10:00 a.m. service. Children's activities follow the breakfast which include the making of Easter crafts and a balloon release.
