Wicker Park Grace - an exploration of grace-based faith

Grace Happens.

Wicker Park Grace is a welcoming community which seeks to grow in spirit, mind, and heart. Our community is centered in a generous and dynamic Christianity.

Not everyone who participates in Wicker Park Grace events is a Christian, or considers themselves a follower of Jesus, and that's okay with us.

At the same time, some of us are on a journey of deepening our spiritual practices rooted in Christian tradition and following the teachings of Jesus.

You'll see signs of this quest in most of our events, and some activities will be more deeply grounded in Christian practices.

Please feel welcome to participate in which ever events feel most comfortable and which resonate most deeply with you.

Spiritual Practice::
Searching for Ubuntu

Sunday, Oct 5, 6:00 pm

Ubuntu is an African word which in many countries and dialects means humanness and interconnection. Ubuntu means "I am because WE are" and "people are people THROUGH other people."

Special Guest, Rev. La Donna M. Sanders will share with us about the South Africa Ubuntu Project, and reflect with us about the meaning of Ubuntu in our context.

Rev. Ladonna is recently returned to Chicago for a short visit before returning to her work with street kids in South Africa.

It is World Communion Sunday, and we will also join with churches all over the world by celebrating communion this Sunday in our Wicker Park Grace style.
