Acacia Park Lutheran Church is finding "new life" in allowing outside groups to utilize the church buildings. Over the past few years, the Acacia Park Church Council has been proactive in exploring new and innovative ways to make use of its beautiful space. One of these ways has been space sharing. We've shared our space with music teachers, small businesses and other church groups, and now beginning in September, we are happy to welcome New Life Community Church. Truly, this arrangement has great benefits for both congregations: Acacia Park—now nearly at its 90-year mark—will continue to thrive, and New Life has a lovely building in which to meet. We gladly welcome New Life to Acacia Park! And we welcome you too to join us for worship on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am. Is your congregation looking for worship space? Feel free to contact us through Facebook, email at [email protected], or by phone at 708-453-3662.

Acacia Park is hosting a Pancake Brunch to help raise money toward replacing the front doors of the church. Sunday, August 5th,10:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. The cost is $5.00; children three and under are free. Our goal is to raise as much as possible to help defray the cost of badly-needed, new church doors. So please bring your friends, family and neighbors and join us for a delicious brunch of pancakes, sausage, fruit, juice and coffee along with the chance to win some really great raffle prizes.

Our Little Free Library was featured in the Norridge-Harwood Heights News!

Join us this Sunday, July 22nd at 10:45 am for our Little Free Library dedication ceremony. We'll gather outside in front of the church (weather permitting) after service for a special dedication ceremony led by Pastor Meagan. Please bring a book to share in the library. Refreshments will be available following the ceremony.

Our Little Free Library is now in place in front of the church! Please stop by, and take a look. We'll begin filling it with books right after the 4th of July holiday, and don't forget the dedication ceremony after service on Sunday, July 22nd.

Our Little Free Library is finished and ready to be installed! I've included some pictures, but you can also see it for yourself as it's currently on display in the Narthex of the church. On Sunday, July 22nd immediately following worship, we will have a dedication ceremony for our Little Free Library, so please mark your calendars, and plan on attending as Pastor Meagan blesses our wonderful new addition to the community. Bring your family and friends; refreshments will be served.

We're getting close! Here are a few more pictures of our Little Free Library. We expect to have it in place and functional next month. Can't wait!

So . . . we're on our way to having our own Little Lending Library in front of Acacia Park! The primer coat went on today and later this week, the base coat. I'll continue to post photos, so make sure to watch our FB page for updates. Thanks so much to Eisenhower Library for giving us the starter kit!

Bring a copy of this flyer to Fannie May at the HIP on Thursday, May 10th or Friday, May 11th. Thirty percent of the proceeds will be donated to SAVE THE DISTRICT 80 BAND.
