LIFE ON THE VINE

A GREENHOUSE OF GOD'S PRESENCE

First Sundays of the Month: All-Age Worship Services

Children ages 2+ stay with us for the whole time rather than going to their classes midway through the service.

We start with a breakfast potluck, but if you're visiting with us, no need to bring anything. We've got you covered!


Holy Week and Easter Services

Palm Sunday: April 13, Sunday Worship at 10:15AM

We begin Holy Week as we wave palm branches and welcome the King to the City of God singing "Hosanna to the Son of David!"


Maundy Thursday: April 17, 7:00-8:00 PM

"A new command I give you - to love one another, as I have loved you."

Maundy comes from the latin word mandatum which means "commandment." On this night we remember and receive anew the commandment from our Savior to love one another. This is a simple service that engages us in a foot-washing ceremony, after which we receive the Eucharist meal together.

All ages welcome.


Good Friday Tenebrae Service: April 18, 7:30-8:45PM

A service of shadows - as we follow Jesus to the cross, we plunge deeper and deeper into the darkness of death until we are left asking, "What will become of the Light of the World?" 

Childcare for ages 4 and under (TBD)


Easter Morning: April 20, 8:30AM around the campfire

The Light has triumphed! Our resurrection celebration begins at 8:30AM around the campfire outside, and goes through the entire morning as we move inside our building, tell the story of redemption, and end with a great Easter feast.

welcome

In our noisy, hectic, and divisive world, we are a contemplative, liturgical, and justice-oriented community in the northwestern suburbs of Chicago. You are invited to experience the holy and mysterious presence of God through silence, Scripture, prayer, the Eucharist, and friendship among us. A deeper and fuller life emerges when we connect with God's presence and one another.
