With two services this year, we saw more than 200 in attendance! The readers were wonderful and the music spectacular.
As one of our parishioners says: The music loses its "glory" when not connected to God's Holy Word! In the live moments, it is a holy and living sacrifice of praise & thanksgiving to God and God touching our hearts with His Love!

A festival of Lessons and Carols - December 23, 2023
STANDING ROOM ONLY
Our Lessons and Carols service was standing room only on Saturday night, December 23rd. There were late comers who had to sit in the balcony with the choir and some who stood in the back of the church because there was no place left to sit downstairs.
A beautiful service was appreciated by all. Our choir of 18 singers, harp and keyboard (pictured below) brought glory to God in telling the Christmas story in Word and music along with excellent lay readers.

All-Church Picnic 2023
Group Night at Ravinia
Nashotah House Alumni luncheon
On Saturday, June 24th, we hosted a presentation by the Dean of Nashotah House Theological Seminary, Dr. Garwood Anderson, at the American Legion Post in Libertyville. After a delicious lunch catered by Maggiano's Italian Restaurant, Dr. Anderson gave a very interesting and informative presentation of the state of theological education today and where Nashotah House fits in the overall picture. We were inspired to continue to support the work of this great institution as they train future clergy in the orthodox faith.
