The Chicago Marathon
Sunday, October 9th is the Chicago Marathon, which runs right through our neighborhood, so please plan your travel accordingly.
Several St. Peter's folks are running. As of the time of this writing, we know that Christer, Megan (who helped run the Gala) and Jeff (who heads up outreach) will all be running, along with the Rev.Dr. Jackie Cameron, priest in Chicago. Assisting the runners, Thelma will be working in the massage therapy tent. Anyone else? Please let the office know. We'll be praying for the runners that day and cheering them along the way. Want to cheer for the runners and especially our St. Peter's runners? Email Rev. Sarah.

Children's Formation/Education Opportunities
The Children's Sunday School room was one of the hardest hit by the flood this summer. We're in the process of moving that classroom upstairs. The classroom will now share space with the nursery. We're trying this out for a time. The upstairs room is brighter and we're hopeful it will be a better space for our Sunday School.
We hope to be in that space by Sunday, October 16th for the first day of Sunday School at 10:00 AM. This year we're using SPARK curriculum. With SPARK, kids will learn stories of the Bible and begin to explore their faith. This fall we'll be studying Genesis and Exodus. There's also an on-line resource for parents, so you can study along with your kids.
For more info, or to sign your child up for Sunday School, please contact Rev. Sarah at 773-525-0844.

Adult Formation/Education Opportunities
Wednesday Mornings at 11AM join for a study of the Book of Exodus.
Wednesday Evenings at 6:00 PM,
For six Sundays beginning October 2, you'll notice bulletin inserts featuring reflections on the day's Gospel written by folks from around the Episcopal Church. Beginning on Wednesday, October 5, and continuing for six Wednesdays, we will use those reflections as points of departure for Wednesday Night Forum. Come share your insights about these thoughtful pieces. We'll have treats each week to give us brainpower.
For more info, please email Rev. Sarah.
