Weekly Sunday service information and parish news.
The Reverend Benjamin Hankinson, Celebrant
In light of the recent State of Illinois indoor mask mandate, all worshippers are asked to wear masks when attending church, including those who are fully vaccinated. We pray that through compassionate fidelity to the common good, we will see the present surge subside.

Remembering Dr. M.L. King
[ENS] Presiding Bishop Michael Curry will be the keynote speaker January 17 at the annual Martin Luther King Day observance organized by the King Center in Atlanta as Episcopalians prepare to join citizens around the United States in remembering the civil rights icon on the holiday that bears his name.
The King Center, founded by King’s family after his 1968 assassination, has scheduled a week’s worth of activities to commemorate King’s birthday and celebrate his legacy. All of the events will be accessible online, as will the Beloved Community Commemorative Service from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Eastern January 17. Curry will be among the limited number of participants speaking at that event in person. Others include Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp.
