United Lutheran Church has a long tradition of outreach and se

rvice to its members and the community. We hope you will join us
for service on Sunday to experience for yourself the fellowship of Christ. United Evangelical Lutheran Church, founded in 2007, has a rich history. United started as two separate congregations, Messiah Lutheran Church and Faith Lutheran Church, once these two churches became yoked Pastor Paul Walker became the pastor of both congregations worshiping separately, these two congregations began to know one another through activities, music, and fellowship. In 2006 this yoked congregation started the process of becoming one congregation and on January 28, 2007 became United Lutheran Church. At that time we became a Redevelopment Church under the Northern Illinois Synod and had many new decisions to make including where to worship. After the sale of the Messiah Lutheran Church property, the economy took a fall and we were unable to sell the Faith Lutheran Church property. After several offers on a new location it was decided that United would remain at our current 3630 N. location and that we would grow our congregation here. Pastor Julane Nease has been with us since Aug 2015 and she would love to answer any questions you may have. The members of United Lutheran Church believe in God's purpose for us. We are dedicated, hardworking and strong and continue to grow our church community. Office hours are Monday through Thursday 9am to 2pm and we are here every Sunday morning.

Presiding Bishop Yehiel Curry has issued his second in a series of monthly messages that continue through the end of this year, titled “All Together in One Place."

Each message will share a pastoral word, rooted in Scripture, that witnesses to God's presence today, our rich theological tradition and the social teaching that connects us.

Read his latest message, "America at 250: Holding gratitude and humility," here: ELCA.org/news/all-together-in-one-place-2

This one made me pause a little.

Because I don’t always associate service with joy.
Sometimes it just feels like… a lot.

But that’s the invitation here...to let something deeper come through, even in the ordinary moments.

”Therefore encourage one another and build one another up..." — 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Encouragement is sacred work.

A kind word can steady someone who feels overwhelmed. A simple acknowledgment can remind a weary person that their efforts matter.

Our world offers plenty of criticism, cynicism, and discouragement. As followers of Christ, we are called to offer something different. We are called to build up rather than tear down, to notice goodness, and to speak hope into weary hearts.

Who might need your encouragement today?

Your words may carry more healing than you know.
