• Benevolent Guild
Wednesdays (except the third Wednesday of the month) at 9:30 a.m.
September through December; March through June
Room 5B in the Gratz Center
We’re looking for people to join us!
Do you have some time to share on Wednesday mornings? The Benevolent Guild invites you to join them in the fun of creating handmade stuffed animals for children in hospitals and shelters (no sewing experience necessary!). You are also encouraged to bring a brown-bag lunch and stay for a time of fellowship following the work session.
The group meets on the first, second, and fourth Wednesdays of the month at 9:30 a.m. and concludes around noon with scripture and mission information followed by a brown-bag sandwich lunch together.
For more information, please contact Anne Ellis (312.573.3369).
• Books by Women

September through June
Bumpus Room in the Gratz Center
Details and a reading list are available here.
• Moms’ Groups
If you’re expecting or have a child age 0–4 or 5–12, you’re invited to join a Fourth Church Moms’ Group. Joining a Moms’ Group is a great way to make new friends and explore how faith can be a strong resource during these exciting and challenging times.
Details and a meeting schedule are available here.
For more information, contact Liz Nickerson (312.573.3366).
• Sewing and Knitting Workshop
Fourth Tuesdays from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m.
September through May
Room 4K in the Gratz Center
Join this active group of women who sew and knit items for those in need (items such as hats and scarves for adults and children, children’s pajamas and clothes, baby booties and crib caps, lap robes, and more). The group is designed to accommodate working women as well as those who stay at home, allowing participants to produce their wares on their own time.
The group meets at Fourth Church for a time of fellowship, to drop off items they have completed, and to pick up yarn and material for new projects. Items are then donated to children and families in shelters, hospitals, and nursing homes.
For more information, please contact Anne Ellis (312.573.3369).
