 in the Activity Center

This is the final Winter Wednesday  event. The Labyrinth symbolizes a transforming journey to your deepest center and back out into the world with an expanded understanding of who you are.

Diane Tiemann of the Community Nursing Program at Alexian Brothers describes the labryinth as a "sacred place" and a "chance to talk with God". Come as you are and spend a few moments in silence listening for God's word. 

Lenten Study led by Rev. Sang Hun Han

Tuesdays, March 15 through April 19 at 7pm in the Library

Thursdays, March 17 through April 21 at 10am in room 115

 Sign up this Sunday. 

Walk with Jesus on his final day. Sit beside him at the Last Supper. Pray

with him in Gethsemane. Follow him to the cross. Desert him. Deny him.

Experience the Resurrection. This class is to help you better understand the

events that occurred during the last 24 hours of Jesus' life, see more

clearly the theological significance of Christ's suffering and death, and

reflect upon the meaning of these events for your life.

No single event in human history has received more attention than the

suffering and crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth. The book we'll study, 24

Hours That Changed the World, by Adam Hamilton, is designed to help you experience and understand the significance of Jesus' suffering and death in a way you never have before.

Whether you are a longtime Christian or simply curious about the story of

Christ's crucifixion, you are invited to join us on this inspiring journey.

Sunday mornings, 3/27, 4/3,10,17 Beth Jayapalan will lead a study at 9am.

The confirmands burned palms from last year to make the ashes for Wednesday's services.

Ed Nickow from Temple Chai sounded the Shofar during Wednesday evening's Ash Wednesday Service. 

Nickow described to the congregation the different sounds of the shofar which are typically blown on the Jewish High Holy Days.  

The first sound was "to wake people up" and another sound was to "break up our shortcomings and bring about repentance" he explained. 

Hello to all the February Church drivers!!!

Wheeling Township is so very fortunate to have a wonderful partnership with St. Thomas Becket, Arlington Countryside and Kingswood United Methodist Churches.  We know that during February three of our largest routes will have excellent service.

This year a meals on wheels program closed in Mt. Prospect.  Funding was not there to have a coordinator so they closed the program down.

We picked up 23 new clients.  We would not have been able to do that without the support of the 27 churches who deliver each month of the year.

Again, thank you!

Sincerely,

Chris Guth
