Union Church of Hinsdale

Allegrezza Presents: Magnificat
2025-12-07 15:00 - 17:00 (America/Chicago) | Union Church of Hinsdale, 137 S Garfield Ave., Hinsdale, IL, 60521, United States
Sunday, December 7, 3:00 p.m., in the Sanctuary
Allegrezza’s upcoming Holiday Spectacular centers on Magnificat, chosen for its beauty and now imbued with themes of justice, courage, and grace. The concert imagery reflects Mary’s song—a powerful yet tender plea for justice—honoring immigrant mothers’ resilience and connecting to America’s symbol of hope. At its core is Luke 1:52: “He has put down the mighty from their seats and exalted the humble,” reminding us that compassion can overcome power. The event is framed as art in action, calling for empathy and solidarity. Attendees can support this mission by attending the concert, with proceeds benefiting the National Immigrant Justice Center to promote dignity and hope for those seeking safety and belonging.

Christmas Offering, 12/14/25-1/10/26
2025-12-14 - 2026-01-10 | Union Church of Hinsdale, 137 S Garfield Ave., Hinsdale, IL, 60521, United States
For our Christmas offering this year, we encourage you to make a special contribution to our Ministry for Change partner, Peoples Resource Center.
https://www.peoplesrc.org/
Peoples Resource Center’s mission is to respond to basic human needs, promote dignity and justice, and build a future of hope and opportunity for residents of DuPage County. Services include food pantry, clothing, financial assistance, adult literacy, jobs assistance, technology access, computer training and art enrichment.
Every service is offered free of charge. PRC is a “neighbor to neighbor” resource, efficiently using its donations through the power of over 2500 volunteers. It has two onsite locations in Wheaton and Westmont, and over 30 partner sites used to bring services closer to neighbors in need.
Demand for services has increased significantly due to both inflation and cuts in funding for federal programs such as SNAP benefits. Funding cuts have also increased PRC’s food costs as cuts in funding to the Department of Agriculture reduced the amount of subsidized food available to purchase.
The Union Church has supported PRC this year with a back-to-school supply drive. We also provided direct funding for food costs through Ministry for Change’s budget. Our continued support will help ensure PRC can continue to meet the needs of our neighbors at a critical time.
For the Christmas Offering (running December 14th through 31st), you may donate to PRC or make a special contribution to the church – or do both! You have two easy options for giving:
1) Give online through the church website. On the giving page, under “fund,” select either “Christmas Offering – Peoples Resource Center” (all amounts donated under this selection will be donated to PRC) or “Christmas Offering- Union Church Ministries” (all amounts donated under this selection will be shared by ministries of the church generally) and complete the rest of the information. To give to both, please complete two separate donation transactions.
https://onrealm.org/uchinsdale/-/form/give/now
2) Deposit a check in the offering basket during service OR send in a check. If some or all of your donation is intended for Peoples Resource Center, please tell the church office of the split in the memo line or in a separate note. If all of your gift is intended solely for Union Church, just send the check.

Monthly Sandwich Making to Support the Night Ministry
2025-12-21 11:15 - 13:00 | Union Church of Hinsdale, 137 S Garfield Ave., Hinsdale, IL, 60521, United States
If you are looking for a powerful way to make an impact, even with limited time, look no further. Part of the Night Ministry’s mission is to provide approximately 150 sack lunches monthly to children and families in need. This is where Union Church can help! Volunteering less than 2 hours of your time, you can be part of the team that buys, assembles or delivers these lunches. We pack on the third Sunday of the month after the 10:00 service, in the Dining Room. Just come on down, or sign up here.
This does not have to be a monthly commitment, sign up for the months that work for you.
Please keep in mind, this is a great family activity or a way to gather those service hours. Please refer to the Sign Up Genius link below:
