Note: We will continue to have worship services in the Chapel and on Zoom throughout the summer and into fall. Rev. Gary Faleide will continue to be with us. If there are reports of high temperatures, which would make in person worship unbearable, we would try to notify attendees that worship would be Zoom only for that service. There have been no decisions as yet as to how long we will continue to worship, but we do have a rental agreement with Ebenezer Pentecostal Church of God until the end of May 2023. Due to heat and summer activities, we had our last fellowship time in the lounge following worship on 6/5/22. We will resume fellowship time on Gathering Day in September.
Covid-19 guidelines from IDPH will be followed and future updates will be provided to the congregation.

SCHOLARSHIP TIME
Lyonsville Church is fortunate to have two scholarships, funded by the Pavlus and the Karas families. The Pavlus Scholarship, which has been available since 1979, will not be awarded this year as it has a requirement that the fund cannot go below $10,000. However, the Karas Scholarship can be awarded. The Karas has been available since 2008. Once again it is time to request applications for the Karas Scholarship for 2022. Requests for scholarships can be made to use for continuing education fees, college, technical or trade classes, etc. Eligibility requirements are included within the application. The completed application must be received via email to Nayna Byers, Minister for Community Life, nlbyers@aol.com, and must be received by 8/29/22. There will also be a short telephone interview with candidates. Our plan is to award the scholarship(s) approved at worship on Gathering day, September 11, 2022. You may obtain an application by clicking the button below.
If you have any questions, please call Nayna on the church number 708-246-1255.

Our policies are consistent with guidance and requirements from local, state, and federal public health authorities and our wider United Church of Christ.

- Throughout the building, masks are optional, but encouraged, for everyone two years of age and older, regardless of vaccination status.
- As a courtesy to the welfare of all, please provide safe space to others.
- Windows will be open to provide ventilation whenever possible.
- Please do not attend in-person worship if you are experiencing any Covid-like symptoms
For the safety of us all, we request good-natured adherence to these policies. Thank you.
