Care Partners of Cook County is planning 2025 Fall Chore Days! This event connects groups or individual volunteers with older adults (60+) in our county to help with fall chores such as firewood stacking, raking leaves, and general yard or garage cleanup. Projects will be scheduled for Friday and Saturday, October 24th and 25th. Sign up at church this week if you are interested!
We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation.
You are invited to participate in the life of the church regardless of your sexual orientation, gender expression, political leanings, religious affiliation, immigration status, or attitude toward lutefisk. We are a community of faith made up of imperfect people seeking the mystery of God’s love together; a church where beginners are welcome, forgiveness is proclaimed, inclusion in promised, and hope comes alive.
Start Off the Day With a Morning Meditation. Pastor Tom emails a short meditation each day of the week. If you’d like to receive these quick little essays about living the gospel in the midst of our daily routines, simply have Pastor Tom add you to our email list. All are invited to receive these meditations.
We are Partners in Ministry!

We acknowledge that we live and worship on the traditional lands of our indigenous neighbors. We honor that we are able to build a community that reflects the culture and values of our immigrant forebears because the Ojibwe Nation gave us permission to do so through a series of treaties.
