Sunday, Taize Vespers, followed by potluck dinner
April 13, 5:00pm
  Taize-candles
Our theme in April is sustainability, so our prayers and readings will touch upon this issue.

Taize is a gathering centered around chanting (singing short songs in a meditative way), and includes a candle-lighting ceremony.

 
Potluck Dinner afterwards at 6:00
Entre, salad, bread provided by volunteers--bring sides or dessert to share.
 
We still need volunteers to bring the salad and the bread.
 
If you can do it, email Nanette at nsawyer (at) wickerparkgrace (dot) net.

Wednesday, House of Mercy @ Wicker Park Grace 
April 16, 7:00-9:00pm
  
bad_food Debbie Blue, Russell Rathbun and Linda Buturian will be in Chicago at Wicker Park Grace to read from their books (see links below) and talk about the Church they started with their friends way back at the dawn of the Emergent/ emergence/ emerging movement.

Come join the conversation--how does a worshiping community committed to radical grace and liturgical eclecticism sustain itself over time, or where ever else it may go.
