Steinway Mini-Concert and Q&A!
2022-05-08 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Chicago) | Union Church of Hinsdale, 137 S Garfield Ave., Hinsdale, IL, 60521, United States
On MAY 8, immediately following the 10:00 a.m. worship service, Stephen C Edwards and Stephen Uhl will present a short 20-minute Mini Concert featuring our new Steinway (Rachmaninov, Gershwin, Kandor, Ebb and more)! Additionally, CJ, our amazing Steinway rep, will be here to help answer questions about this marvelous instrument.

We will also have some photos and video from our NYC Steinway selection trip and a reception following the concert/presentation. We are almost 45% of the way with our total campaign goal, and 65% of the way to paying off the piano portion of the goal. There less than a month before the final invoice for the piano is due. Join us to know more and contribute here (select “Steinway Fundraising Campaign” from the drop down menu!).

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support. I am so honored to be a part of this amazing community! ~ Stephen C Edwards – Director of Music and Worship

DEI, CRT: WWJD?** An Adult Education Series
2022-04-24 11:00 - 12:00
How do such short strings of letters inspire such heated debate? What is DEI? What is this CRT? How can we reflect on our own experiences while understanding that others have walked similar paths with different results? Let’s learn and talk about it.

In this three-week series, we will discuss ideas that can be hard to talk about, but that are essential for our faith, our community, and our world. Over the years, our Adult Christian Education programs have been wonderful for learning more in our Christian faith. We are so pleased to be back after a pandemic break and hope you will join us in the youth room after 10:00am worship to learn and share your thoughts.

** DEI = Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; CRT = Critical Race Theory; WWJD = What Would Jesus Do?

Bible Sunday
2022-04-24 10:00 - 11:00
On Sunday, April 24 we will be continuing with a Union Church rite of passage and presenting Bibles to our Third Graders. During Sunday School we will learn more about our Bibles and everyone (adults and children) are encouraged to bring their own Bibles. We will also be incorporating our youth group members into the service and celebrating our Wednesday Gather + Grow Youth Group that ran from September thru late March and included games, service projects, lessons about church rituals and most importantly, brought our kids, grades 2 – 8, together in fellowship in their church home. To join the G+G youth group for the 2022/23 school year, contact Penny Johnson or Grant Glowiak.

We will also focus on Bibles during the 9:07 service and encourage all to bring their Bible.
