💙Today is our first day of school at Grace. 💙 With the added cost caused by Covid 19, and the loss of revenue with the cancellation of our annual golf outing, this year will be extremely challenging! Please keep our children, the teachers and other staff in your prayers. 🙏🙏🙏
If you feel you can help us out financial and haven’t done so yet, please go to graceenglish.org and click on “Support Us”, or send a check to Grace Lutheran Church, 2725 N. Laramie Av, Chicago, IL. 60639. 💙 God Bless You! 💙

Friends of Grace, I come to you with mixed feelings this day! As most of you know, we were going to celebrate 100 years of “God’s Grace Upon Grace” this year in September. Regretfully we have had to postpone the celebration until next year because of Covid 19. This causes regret and sorrow in my heart. But then I am quickly filled with joy in the realization that God has been with us for these 100 years. His grace has sustained us! His love has encouraged us! He has truly blessed us throughout these past 100 years. My heart is no longer in regret or sorrowful, rather, it is filled with joy and anticipation of what Our Lord has in plan for us!

We also had to cancel what was to be our 8th annual golf classic. Our golf outing represented 25-30% of the school’s annual budget. The loss of this revenue will put a burden on the operation of our school. I am sending out an appeal for your help. Please help us keep alive the Christian education we have provided for over 98 years. With the grace of God we have been able to touch the lives of so many children in need with the good news of the Gospel. Please help us to be able to continue to share the love of Our Lord and Savior with the children of our community! You can send a check directly to Grace or visit graceenglish.org and click on “support us” to make a credit card donation. We will keep you posted on updates of our future plans and endeavors. I hope this message finds you all safe and healthy! May the peace of Our Lord be with you! God Bless you!
Yours in Christ,

Cliff Higley
Chairman of Grace Eng.Ev.Lutheran Church & School

Greetings during this Easter season. As we deal this most challenging of times, I am reminded of three things. First is how important are our family and friends. Second is how vulnerable we are as information changes daily and we realize how dependent we are on decisions made by others on our behalf. Third and most important, is how blest we are to have our Lord and Savior with us giving us His peace. It is our prayer that God uses this time to draw others and our society as a whole closer to Him. May we all share with those around us this peace which surpasses all understanding. “Lift High the Cross”

He is Risen! As we reflect during this Easter season we are reminded of those things that are most important in our lives. Family and friends come to mind. We realize just how much we might have taken them for granted! But the thing that rises to the forefront is our faith. Faith and the knowledge that our Lord is here with us and guiding us through this most challenging of times. He gives us His peace which makes everything bearable. It is our prayer that we share this peace and His love with others around us!

“Christ is Risen”. He is risen indeed!! Alleluia! What a glorious day. The day that our Lord and Savior overcame death and the devil for us. May this knowledge comfort and sustain us during this most difficult of times. May His peace be with us all. He IS always with us and will never leave us!

Happy Easter from our house to yours!

Diane and I send greetings from south Florida on this Palm Sunday. We are so blessed to be here amidst the waving palm trees. Hope this message finds you all safe and healthy. As we enter this most Holy of weeks, it is our prayer that the peace of our Lord is with you. The peace which only He can give. The peace of knowing Him as your Lord and Savior. The peace of knowing that He is always with you. We wish you all of God’s richest blessings in this most important of weeks leading to perhaps the greatest day in our faith in Easter Sunday! Yours in Christ.

Greetings in the name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
I pray this message finds you and your families all well and safe. Diane and I are in Florida and have been self quarantined for the past 3 weeks. We are doing well. Grace church and school are coping and doing the best they can. All of our students are home and the teachers have been reaching out to them during these trying times to educate and share the love of Christ. We need all of your prayers for our teaches and students. As of now we are still planning to celebrate the 100 years that God has blessed us with "God's Grace Upon Grace"

We could use some help from all of you that have already joined this group. Please share this group with any Grace alumni that you are in contact with. If you have emails for anyone, please email them to: [email protected]
If any of you would like to volunteer to send out emails, or help in any way, please let us know.
