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.

Confirmation is a two-year program designed for youth in grades seven and eight where they explore their relationship with themselves, each other, the Church, and God. The youth will delve into the overarching theme of the Church’s Tradition as they seek to understand how and why Episcopalians worship the way we do. Accompanied by faithful adult mentors, confirmands will be encouraged to learn about their faith by asking questions and openly expressing doubts. There will be opportunities for large group discussions as well as small group reflections, giving the confirmands opportunities to create meaningful relationships with their peers and their adult mentors.

For more information, please contact Wendy.

Focusing on the Great Creeds of the Episcopal Church: the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed. The Book of Common Prayer describes them as “statements of our basic beliefs about God.” Where do they come from? By what process were they adopted? Do they continue to summarize our basic beliefs about God? We will also examine the Athanasian Creed, which proclaims the nature of the Incarnation and of God as Triune.
