We are weeks away now from our beloved church turning 150 years of age. Our wonder is not just a look backwards at all that has been accomplished and all that has challenged. Our wonder also is a deep listening for God’s guidance on what is next for First Presbyterian Church of Deerfield, and for us. The celebration begins on May 2 with a Celebration Dinner at Chevy Chase Country Club in Wheeling, IL. We’ll hear from the choir, from each other and from Princeton Seminary Professor Dr. Heath Carter on the life forward of the Church to come. Come enjoy an evening out, delicious food, good company and a wonder about all that is ahead of us in faith.
