Feast Day of St Gregory COMMUNION Sunday, September 6th

We will celebrate the Feast Day of our Patron Saint, St. Gregory the Great on Sunday, September 6th! To honor this feast, we will celebrate Communion together (though not physically). We will worship together via Zoom (and FB Live) at 10am as usual – but instead of Morning Prayer, we will be celebrating the Eucharist. We will complete the worship through the invitation to Communion. Then instead of coming to the altar rail, we will either drive through to get the Sacrament, or have it delivered to our doorstep. Don’t consume it yet!

Once everyone has the Sacrament in their home, we will resume our worship at 2pm together to consume the Sacrament and complete our worship service.

Eucharist is about the Body of Christ on earth coming together to worship and receive the Body of Christ in bread and wine. We believe that one bread and one cup are the symbols (then actually the real presence) of Jesus Christ. Therefore, we need to all be together to consecrate the one bread and wine, and then receive it together so we can be sent forth (nurtured and transformed) to share Christ with the world.

You must reserve Sacrament ahead of time so we can safely package and prepare it for you to receive. We will also need many people to help deliver the sacrament (to doorsteps for contact-free delivery) to those who need to have it brought to them. To sign up for Sacrament and/or volunteer, please go here: https://forms.gle/5z5YLavjxyH3hfKL8

Welcome to St. Gregory's – virtually! We know that the church is not the building in which we worship – but the people who worship and share God’s love with the world. In this time of social distancing, we will practice connectivity in new and powerful ways, for we know we all are connected as one in the Lord. Life is very different than we knew it to be, and yet our anchor in God’s love remains the same. All shall be well!

We are people from all walks of life and all parts of Chicagoland. Most people who worship here didn’t grow up Episcopalian, but seek to radiate God’s grace by gathering community and sharing joy and hope in the world. Join us however works for you: participate in Zoom worship, follow our livestream, help us give to the community, read with our kids, or even be a pen pal to get to know someone new.

Online Worship

Everyone is experiencing the Pandemic in different ways. Many people are experiencing deeper loss than they ever have before, and we are here to support them during this time. If you are experiencing loss and grief, we are here to pray with you, talk with you, and help financially.

The Body of Christ exists to care for each other. Sometimes we can be generous, and sometimes we receive generosity. Both are equal acts of faith and grace, and one cannot exist without the other.
