Annual Meeting and Brunch

All pledging members of Christ Church are warmly encouraged to come and participate. Annual meetings are perfect for the season of Epiphany as we will hear how our church helps reveal and spread the love of God in Christ into the world. We’ll review the past year and a look ahead to the coming year which promises to be momentous as we celebrate Christ Church’s 150th anniversary. We will also acclaim our new class of Vestry members and new Warden and have a wonderful brunch after the meeting to celebrate.

Children's Chapel

Children age three through 6th grade, please join us for our first Children’s Chapel of the year which will have a Halloween theme. Everyone is invited to wear costumes. Children’s Chapel offers a child friendly worship experience with songs, a story, a children’s message, and prayers. It is an opportunity for all the children to worship together in one space. The Rev. Cynthia will be our clergyperson. After the 9:30 service is over, there will be Halloween-themed activities for the children at Coffee and Conversations in the Prevost Cloister (and outside, if the weather is nice.) Children’s Chapel is held on the last Sunday of the month and replaces Sunday School classes.

Leading with Love Series

A collaboration with Holy Comforter Kenilworth and Holy Spirit Lake Forest - Black Erasure in Our Midst. Glencoe used to have a thriving black community that was well integrated into the life of the village. Systematically, that community was dismantled. Please join us to visit the Glencoe Historical Society’s wonderful exhibit and meet with some of its curators. We will hold a pilgrimage to the sites of erasure, pray and witness to them, and gather at St. Elizabeth’s afterwards for hot chocolate and reflection. For more info, email Rev. Cynthia at cynthia@christchurchwinnetka.org.
