Wicker Park Lutheran Church

Wicker Park Lutheran Church Wicker Park Lutheran Church is a diverse and dynamic faith-filled community in Wicker Park. Located at the corner of Hoyne & LeMoyne in historic Wicker Park.

WPLC is a dynamic, growing, and creative community of faith that encompasses all ages, backgrounds, and races. As a congregation, we are a vibrant Christian community focused on a traditional liturgy with expansive theology. The congregation is mainly comprised of young 20 and 30-somethings; however, there are people from most ages along with multiple races and many families. Sunday School is avai

lable for school-aged children. A staffed nursery is available for younger children. Our service in the community feeding the homeless is an on-going focus. We are thankful for our beautifully restored sanctuary and have made it available for weddings and baptisms regardless of membership status. Sunday service is at 10am. WPLC is also a "Reconciling in Christ" congregation that welcomes and affirms all people regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, national origin, socio-economic background, gender, and marital status to name a few. Where ever you are in your religious or spiritual journey you are welcome at WPLC! Finally, WPLC is an active part of the greater Wicker Park, Humboldt Park, and Logan Square communities, partnering with community and faith-based organizations on issues of social justice and urban ecology, hosting public concerts, mounting art exhibits, and providing space for AA groups six days a week and two jazzercise classes. It is the home of the Wicker Park Choral Singers and the site of its popular concerts.

Holy God, we praise your name; Lord of all, we bow before you. All on earth your scepter claim, all in heaven above adore you. 😁

Rev. Tom's sermon on Matthew 28:16-20.

05/31/2026

Though the word trinity is not found in the scriptures, today’s second reading includes the apostolic greeting that begins the liturgy: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. In the gospel Jesus sends his disciples forth to baptize in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. More than a doctrine, the Trinity expresses the heart of our faith: we have experienced the God of creation made known in Jesus Christ and with us always through the Holy Spirit. We celebrate the mystery of the Holy Trinity in word and sacrament, as we profess the creed, and as we are sent into the world to bear witness to our faith.

"..Now, God could have chosen one holy language for everybody to speak. But, instead, the Spirit spoke in every direction. Voices were overlapping. Accents colliding. Heads turning as people tried to understand. And that means Pentecost is not about sameness. It is about belonging. It is about a Spirit powerful enough to hold people together without erasing who they are. And it is all because, the Spirit was already moving..."

Pentecost derives its name from the Jewish festival celebrating the harvest and the giving of the law on Mount Sinai fifty days after Passover. Fifty days after Easter, we celebrate the Holy Spirit as God’s presence within and among us. In Acts the Spirit arrives in rushing wind and flame, bringing God’s presence to all people. Paul reminds us that though we each have different capacities, we are unified in the Spirit that equips us with these gifts. Jesus breathes the Holy Spirit on his disciples, empowering them to forgive sin. We celebrate that we too are given the breath of the Holy Spirit and sent out to proclaim God’s redeeming love to all the world.

In these days between Ascension and Pentecost, we gather with the disciples in the upper room, waiting for the Spirit to transform the church around the world. In today’s gospel Jesus prays for his followers and for their mission in his name. Amid religious, social, and economic divisions, we seek the unity that Jesus had with his Father. Made one in baptism, we go forth to live our faith in the world, eager for the unity that God intends for the whole human family.
