NICASA Family Christmas Gifts! | St. Gregory's Episcopal Church

St. Gregory’s will once again be providing Christmas gifts for low-income families who are clients of Nicasa. Nicasa is a nonprofit social service agency in North Chicago for vulnerable and at-risk children, individuals, and families that are in crisis due to abuse, homelessness, addiction, etc. They build brighter futures for their clients through comprehensive financial and behavioral support, including therapy, halfway house services, addiction and educational counseling, and more.

To sponsor a family (shopping from a list of requested items and wrapping gifts), please sign up using this link! If you would like to contribute to gifts for a family, but aren’t able to shop, Janet Foltz will be happy to do the shopping and wrapping on your behalf.

Once you’ve signed up, Janet will email information about your family to you. Thank you for helping to spread joy to our neighbors this Christmas! Janet Foltz: [email protected] or (847)548-2772

No matter who you are, where you are from, what is hurting you or bringing you joy, who you love, what you do, where you live, or what brought you here – you are welcome at StGs!

We are people from all walks of life, all ages and stages, 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.

We take faith seriously, but not ourselves, so we find exuberance and joy in worship and all other things we do. Seriously, even most of our meetings are fun! We are passionate about food and gathering, so most of our focus goes to those things within our worshipping community and in our broader communities.

We look forward to getting to know you.

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.
