"Faith That Feeds"
We believe that faith should feed and nurture our spirits.
We believe also that faith should lead us to feed people
in the many different ways they hunger,
both physically and spiritually.

SUNDAY HYBRID WORSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT |
|
The Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost |
|
 |
|
|
|
Today we hear James warn against selfish ambition, while the disciples quarrel over which one of them is the greatest. Jesus tells them the way to be great is to serve. Then, to make it concrete, he puts in front of them a flesh-and-blood child.
We are called to welcome the children God puts in front of us, to make room for them in daily interaction, and to give them a place of honor in the assembly.

Sunday Hybrid Worship
September 19th Prelude begins at 10:20 a.m.,
Service at 10:30 a.m.
If you would like to participate in Holy Communion and you're participating via Zoom, you are invited to prepare a small bit of bread of any sort, and wine or juice if they are accessible to you, creating sacred space.
If you're joining us in-person, for safety we have individually packaged communion with either wine or grape juice that you can pick up at the entrance of the sanctuary. We will commune all together in the pews at the designated time.
After the consecration of these elements as Christ's own body and blood, we join in communion with a blessing also offered for those not partaking of the elements.
Together we remember Christ’s presence. We are made one body, united across all boundaries of space and time by the one who created us and all things, who came among us as human and conquered death, and comes to us still each day by the wireless power of Jesus’ Spirit!

Coffee Hour After Worship
The City of Evanston's Health & Human Services Department has updated its masking guidelines and individuals over 2 years of age are required wear a mask in all public indoor settings, regardless of vaccination status. We encourage those who attend Sunday worship in-person to come to the Social Hall for conversation, announcements and celebrations. There will be no food or drink, so that we can all remain masked. Please value this time for sharing between those attending worship in person and online. Sharing food and drink after worship may resume in the future. Taking these safety precautions is one of the ways that we actively love one another.

The Anti-Racism Task Force presents a discussion on
The 13th
A documentary film by Ava DuVernay
Tuesday, Oct. 5, 2021, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
The Anti-Racism Task Force is sponsoring a discussion of the documentary, The 13th, as our Midweek Spiritual Formation Session on October 5th, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm. Todd Maxman will be our discussion leader. Todd is an Evanston native and ETHS grad, has been teaching and advising at New Trier for nearly 25 years now (gasp!). For most of that time he has been a Social Studies teacher. Before that, he was stationed on submarines in the US Navy for five years. Todd has been active at New Trier in its efforts to make it a more inclusive and intentionally anti-racist place to live and grow. He is most proud of his work as a co-sponsor of the Student Voices in Equity group and co-creating two new courses: Civics and Social Justice and Leadership in Social Justice at New Trier. A resident of Wilmette, Todd's two children currently attend New Trier.

Please join us in a dialogue about Ava DuVernay's award-winning documentary 13th. (Left is a shot featuring Bryan Stevenson, who appears in the film.) Todd will facilitate a discussion on the film that will highlight local connections to the history the film presents and challenge us all to dedicate ourselves to an intentionally anti-racist stance in our work and our communities. All are welcome!
Please watch the film prior to the discussion on Oct. 5.
