 Breaking Bread groups are forming
It's time to put together the 2017 Breaking Bread groups. If you were not in a group last year, you can sign up on the Community Groups page
or contact Carol Roppel in the church office, at 847-255-5900.
If you were in a group last year, stay tuned for your new group assignment! In Breaking Bread, groups of eight people (couples, singles, or a combination) come together four times over the year to share a meal. At the end of year, the groups gather for a meal and celebration. The groups are then shuffled for a new year of fellowship, food, and fun.

The Way
.
