Our next Soup Kitchen date is Friday, August 20, 2021, and we have gone back to our sandwich supper format during the hot weather. We would be grateful for donations of:
- Loaves of soft whole wheat bread
- Sliced cheese – American, cheddar or Swiss
- Individual packets of chips
- Granola bars
- Fruit – oranges, tangerines or apples
- Individual containers of yogurt
- Individual packets of cookies or other treats
We will purchase other items to complete the meal. Since the Parish Center will be closed, donations should be dropped off at Ellen Tierney’s home, 150 Norwich Court, Lake Bluff any time on Thursday, August 19 or before 3:00pm on Friday, August 20. If those times are not convenient, please contact Ellen to make alternate arrangements at (847) 295.4649 or ellenkelly@comcast.net.
Though we are eager to get back to a “dine-in” service, we have been told to expect to operate on a “take-out” basis well into the fall. Many thanks to all who have helped us keep feeding our hungry neighbors during this difficult time.

“Watch carefully then how you live,
not as foolish persons but as wise...”
--------------------------------------------(EPHESIANS 5:15)
A wise person recognizes that all we have and all we are comes from God. A wise person thanks God continually throughout the day for all His many blessings. A wise person realizes that God has blessed us for a reason and that He wants us to help Him build His kingdom on earth.
