Announcements for April 29
- Fish Fry Recap
Proceeds from the Brotherhood of St Andrew’s Lenten fish fry totaled $907. The money will be dedicated to support the Brotherhood and St. John’s longstanding commitment to PADS, a homeless ministry here in the south suburbs. Thanks again to Bill Bestow and the many others who made it all happen.
- Radical Welcome: Workshops with Stephanie Spellers
Want to do some hands-on work on how remixing our Anglican tradition can help us serve the mission of God? Stephanie Spellers, whose diocesan convention keynote address last November sparked energy around the diocese, returns for two workshops this spring. This first is May 5 at St. Paul’s DeKalb; the second is June 16 at Christ Church, Waukegan. Anyone is welcome to attend. More information and registration are available on the diocesan website.
- Bluegrass Concert May 20
On Sunday, May 20, the Grande Prairie Singers present “Grande Prairie: My Old Mountain Home,” featuring the bluegrass mass A World Beloved, at 4:00 p.m. at Faith United Protestant Church, Park Forest. The concert includes a gen-yoo-wine bluegrass band, “What Wondrous Love,” and Charles Wesley's unforgettable “Come, O Thou Traveler Unknown.” Tickets are available now from Betsy Burgwald for only $10 each.
- Adult Literacy: You Can Make a Difference
The Adult Literacy Institute at Prairie State College needs volunteers for rewarding jobs and the chance to give back to the community. If you decide to volunteer, you will receive training, and you won’t be paired with anyone who is beyond your ability help. You can work as little as one hour a week to mentor one student or you can choose to work with more students. Tutors are needed in reading, writing and math. Most of the students are very motivated adults who work hard, but have had few opportunities for education. For more information talk to Bill Moser or call Ms. Dora Ivory at (708) 709-3724.
