From the Rector

Hello everyone! Don't forget about our wonderful reception following the Great Vigil of Easter on Saturday, March 30.  

We are always in need of finger foods. This could be anything from tea sandwiches to cheese and crackers. Also, we need volunteers to help in the kitchen. If you could give us a small amount of your time, either before or after the service for set-up and/or clean-up, it would be very much appreciated.  

Questions? Contact Carole Barber, 708-386-1055; Laura Day 708-453-7162; or Jane Shirley, 773-378-0674.

For the last several years the Feinstein Foundation has been offering a proportional matching grant to food pantries around the country. Both money and items donated are counted and each pantry receives a grant in proportion to the amount they have collected. As Federal funding drops, while the economy stays stressful, the needs at the Oak Park Food Pantry have greatly increased.  

If you would like to donate to the Oak Park River Forest Food pantry through Grace Church, please bring non-perishable food items to Grace Church, and we will get them to the pantry.  The Feinstein Challenge runs until the end of April. Thanks so much.
