In Sight from your wardens Happy New Year! The new year will be off to a busy start. Sunday, January 4th will herald the arrival of the Three Wise Men, the beginning of our 2015 stewardship drive and the commissioning of the THRIVE team, our parishioners participating in the Chicago Episcopal Diocese’s leadership program. It will be a great day to consider our gifts, both individually and as a church, and how we might share them. Additionally, we hope to see many of you at the stewardship gatherings this month. These casual gatherings are a nice way to meet new people or catch up with old friends. If you haven’t received an invitation to a party, please let us know. We wish everyone a happy and healthy 2015!
