Midweek Chicago Folk Service

In the summer many people travel on the weekends and we don’t see our church friends as often on a Sunday morning. A midweek church service may fill the need to worship together. On two Wednesday evening August 6, we’ll gather as a community for supper and worship. We’re used to doing this in Advent and Lent, when we use Holden Evening Prayer as our more meditative liturgy. For these summer worship services, instead, we’ll use the Chicago Folk Service, a liturgy written in the 1970s when pianos and guitars were starting to be played in church. Some adults out there will want to put on your bell-bottoms and your big hair, and relive your days in youth and/or campus ministry.

But wait, there’s more! The youth of the congregation will be our worship and music leaders, serving as accompanists, cantors, and lectors. Come see how they are living out their call to be part of our worshipping community.

Mark your calendars: Wednesday, August 6, for supper at 6:30 followed by worship at 7:15. Watch for announcements to sign up for supper. And pull the retro clothes out of the closet.

Note to youth: if you haven’t yet responded to say how you’re participating, contact Beth Frasso.
