Wednesday Lenten Intergenerational Study
Short Stories By Jesus
ALL (Confirmation Students, Parents, High School Students, Senior Adults, Singles, Grandparents, Extended Family Members etc.) are encouraged to join us on Wednesday Evenings throughout Lent as we explore the parables told by Jesus! This is an opportunity for adults to connect with our Confirmation students as we delve into how these Short Stories By Jesus help guide our lives today.
This week we will be covering The Widow and the Judge. Think you know the message behind this story? Come to our Lenten Intergenerational Study at 6:00pm this Wednesday in the Parish Room to learn something new! Then join us for an intriguing Lenten worship service to follow at 7:00pm in the sanctuary. Join us this week!

Stations of the Cross: Mass Incarceration
The Stations of the Cross are a Lenten devotion meant to ground viewers in the story of Jesus' death, the Passion narrative. Station of the Cross: Mass Incarceration combines images from the history of mass incarceration in America with those of the last day of Jesus' life. The 14 stations in this series address just some aspects of the legal, historical, and cultural context of mass incarceration.
These pieces of art have been hung around the sanctuary, starting in the back on the piano side. Here you can find an explanation from the artist, Mary Button, hung on the window and a pamphlet that will guide you through the stations.

Help Needed for Local Refugee Family
The Mission Outreach team met with Grace Lutheran (La Grange) this week as they have a need for immediate volunteers for two refugee families coming in early May. Grace volunteered for one family, but two additional brothers (ages 22 and 24) are now arriving and will have their own apartment.
If you have any interest in helping with a welcome dinner, apartment set up (4/27), or becoming a monthly mentor (training available), please contact Kris Mahon (630-291-1203).
More information at Refugeeone.org.
