Diocesan Convention

Each year, the weekend before Thanksgiving, the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago gathers to talk, to pray and to chart out the future of our Church.

St. Nicholas Church does not sit on the side-lines…not at all. We get involved. We are engaged in the sessions and the action. This is where we need you.

We ask and invite four (4) of our community members who are able to attend this two-day event and two (2) alternates to come forward and represent our church. If you feel called and are able to make this special gathering, please submit your name to Manny or Steve, our Senior Warden or Jessica, our Junior Warden.

The convention is scheduled for November 21-22 and once again will be held at the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center. St. Nicholas will cover the cost of registration.

Please, consider being a delegate or an alternate and represent St. Nicholas and all the while, learn more about our Church and meet some amazing people, too.

Thank you, one and all.

Many have walked and in so doing, badly-needed funds to help replenish the Housing Fund account will be gained. A hearty Thank You to one and all who took the time to walk, get some exercise and gather monies that will go toward aiding those neighbors who are in need.

On Sunday, September 21st at 1:30 pm, a Closing Ceremony will be held for all who walked and supported this effort. The event will take place on “The Green,” which is located between the Elk Grove Library and Village Hall.

I ask that all funds collected please be turned in to Manny and he will present the collection to Linda Blair who is director of the Social Services office here in E.G.V. Checks are to be made out to “E.G.V. Housing Fund” and all cash is to be put in an envelope with your name and “E.G.V. Housing Fund” printed.

Again, thank you to all walkers, all contributors and those who helped make this spring/summer walk-a-thon so successful.
