…the folkie’s folkie, she knows how to bring pop flourishes and worldwide accents into a program that careens from serious to funny to inspiring. -Chris Spector, Midwest Record

Join us this Friday, July 14th at 7:30 pm for an evening of music and good eats! 

Chicago native Rebecca Jasso is a singer/songwriter who playfully writes around the themes of love, loneliness, and fantasy, skillfully weaving her melodies into the harmonic fabric of her fingerstyle guitar playing.?

A visual artist, Rebecca conjures images with her lyrics to insert you into pictures from her own imagination. From soft, autumnal landscapes, to dark, Narnian scenes, each song is a journey into a new story. Her honest voice and beautiful songs will absolutely charm you.

 

For the next three Sundays, join Pastor Susan as she leads us in looking at several significant passages from the Bible as a way to see if we can hear the way the peasant followers of Jesus heard these messages:

11:30 a.m. at The Coffee Hour

June 11, 2017–Jeremiah 22:13-17  “To Know God”

June 18, 2017–Luke 1:46-55  “Mary’s Song”

June 25, 2017–Luke 4:16-30  “Good News to the Poor”

Come to the stage area where we will gather in a circle.  All are welcome!!

https://www.generosity.com/community-fundraising/pennies-from-heaven-for-2-li-l-fishes–2

We call this “Pennies from Heaven” because we asked our members and friends to bring in that jar, that bag of pennies and other coins that’s been accumulating on their dresser to help us raise money for our 2 Li’l Fishes lunch program.  Every penny counts!

Summertime?  People don’t tend to think of people going hungry at this time of year.  But even though the weather is beautiful, there are still people who struggle to get enough to eat.

Thanks for your support!

The Peoples Church and Two Li’l Fishes invite you to walk with our team in the Greater Chicago Food Depository’s 31st Hunger Walk. Step-off begins at 8:30 a.m. at Jackson Park on Chicago’s South Side (6401 South Stony Island Avenue) and ends at noon.  For every person who walks for Two Li’l Fishes/Preston Bradley Center (Agency A00512), we will receive $12.00.  Register to walk at chicagofoodbank.org/HungerWalk Our fundraising page is at http://www.crowdrise.com/preston-bradley-2-l-il-fishes Donations for our six-day a week free lunch program where we serve 60 neighbors each day are greatly appreciated.
