The first meeting of the 2010-2011 season took place at Church of the Ascension yesterday. It was attended by Father Rod Reinhart of St. Joseph,St. Aidan's/ Blue Island and St. Clements/Harvey, Mother Marion Phipps of St. Hugh of Lincoln/Elgin, Tim Obrien of St. Luke's/Evanston and myself. We began the evening with the service of Evening Prayer followed by a Low Mass. We then moved next door to Wheeler Hall for pizza, chips, cake and wine over conversation about how the upcoming year will look.
The topic for our next monthly meeting will be how establishing a regular prayer life based on the Christian tradition can be a great supplement to psychological/medical treatment for veterans suffering PTSD and other ailments. The date for that meeting will be October 6 back at Church of the Ascension. Hope to see many of you there.
Before that happens, Tim and I agreed to go out to St. Hugh in Elgin on September 22 and take part in the Eucharist for Veterans there and have a talk on Ed Tick's War and the Soul afterwards. The event begins at 7pm at 36W957 Highland Ave. in Elgin. Hope to see you there as well.
