Christmas with Tower Brass
A memorable December tradition, the annual “Christmas with Tower Brass” concert features the wonderful music of the season, from classics to jazz arrangements to favorite Christmas carols! This year’s concert, which will be held on Saturday, December 21 at 5:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary, will also be livestreamed.
Sharing Christmas Joy
This season we invite you to share Christmas joy with those in need by giving a a gift to Light Up a Life. Gifts provide funds for Fourth Church programs that support our neighbors and congregation; for Chicago Lights, as it extends kindness and love to those who are most vulnerable; and for Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, as it cares for communities affected by crises and catastrophic events.
At the Turning of the Year
We again come together with neighbors and our friends from Holy Name Cathedral for the annual New Year’s Eve service in the style of Taizé. On Tuesday, December 31 we will gather in our Sanctuary for this quiet 6:30 p.m. candlelit service that offers moving music, space for prayer, and meditative pause for reflecting on the year past and looking ahead to the year to come.
Pastor Nominating Committee Update
The Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) has posted the Ministry Discernment Profile (MDP) with the Presbyterian Church (USA), outlining what we are looking for in our next pastor. To recommend possible candidates, share what you hope the PNC will consider in the search and discernment process, or ask questions, email the PNC. You can watch the their November update to the congregation here.
