Last Sunday’s Conversation:
Sept. 28, 2025 — Ordinary Time (16) — Matthew 9:35-38
Villaging, Not Pillaging.
This means being good villagers. For us as a church community, it has been some time since we have been “just a church building.” We have been a village for some time, home to a church, a school, a shelter, a recital and rehearsal space, a place for queer elders and their voices to sing, location for support groups… Grant Park Church has been a village for some time, and we are the villagers.
So what does it mean to be good villagers?

Coming up this Sunday:
October 5, 2025 — Ordinary Time (17) —
Grant Park Church is entering a season of resources and stewardship. For us as a church in 2025, what does it mean to steward our resources well? This includes the numerous different resources that exist in our community, much like every community:
Time
Talents
Relationships
Leadership
Truth and Wisdom
Wellness
and Finances, too.
