Faith & Practice
Two Part Series: February 4 & 11
The End is Where We Begin:
Facing health care conversations with
clarity and confidence.
Join us to learn about the importance of making advance directives for ourselves and for the people we care for. Part 1, February 4, focuses on information about the different advance directives in Illinois. Part 2, February 11, focuses on practical tools for starting these important conversations, whether you are 18 or 80. Both sessions will provide plenty of time for questions and conversation. The presenter is Paul Goodenough, the Chaplain Fellow at Bishop Anderson House in Chicago.

The Christ Church Legacy Society
"A Gift that Endures Creates a Church that Endures"
Have you remembered Christ Church in your will or estate plan?
Over 20
parishioners have informed us they have. Will you consider joining them?
A gift from your estate is a gift that continues to benefit the mission of Christ Church beyond your lifetime. We all want the parish to grow and thrive beyond our lifetimes;
an enduring gift helps fulfill that hope.
Please Join Us at Our Inaugural Dinner
