News About Opening
Church Blessings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ! We want you to know that the Elders, Council members, and I, continue to update each other on COVID 19 concerns. This epidemic is extremely serious. We wish to be as cautious as we can for the health and safety of our members. Currently, Confirmation, The Kuzmar’s Stewardship Bible Study, and some brief meetings are being held on “Zoom.” Al Erke’s Bible Study and our weekly worship devotional are available on YouTube and our website under the Weekly Sermons tab. Most other business is usually done thru e-mail or phone.
1) We have input from the State of Illinois, The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod and even the Archdiocese of Chicago on ways to re-open and sanitize. All are in agreement to follow State of Illinois directives---seeking reopening in some capacity.
2) We want to keep all safe and to err on the side of caution—most of our members are over 60 with many having preexisting conditions.
3) When we reopen, we will observe social distancing, wearing masks, and will have a safe means for Holy Communion distribution.
4) Please direct any comments to the Elders, Mike Winters (708 418-0736), Pastor Richy (708 510-7334), Congregation Chairman Ray Nommensen (708 212-6700), or Secretary, Doug Rebeck (708 460-1918). If you wish to e-mail the church, use douglasrebeck@comcast.net since our church e-mail account is not working.
5) Please continue to pray, read your Bibles, and view our weekly worship. There is also “Worship Anew” to view (check website for info). God bless you all. Keep safe and healthy!
In Jesus Name,
Pastor John Richy
