Coming Soon at SPR!
Midweek Contemplative Prayer
Come for silence. Come for rest and refreshment. Come and just be.
From 1:00-1:30pm in SPR’s chapel (across from the church office), there will be contemplative prayer on Thursdays between October 23 and December 18. (Please note that we will not meet on Thanksgiving Day.) Sometimes called “soaking prayer,” you are invited into periods of silence with brief readings from Scripture and spiritual practitioners interspersed. In January 2026 we will evaluate and consider next steps. For more information, please contact the parish office at church@sprchicago.org or 773-624-3185.
The Sacrament of Holy Baptism
If you are interested in the sacrament of Holy Baptism for yourself or your child, please reach out to the church office at 773-624-3185 or the interim rector, the Rev. Wes Smedley at smedley@sprchicago.org. Baptism marks that you are part of God’s family forever. It connects you with a Christian community and requires our promise to follow Jesus, with the support of God and your church community—a way of life we call “Christian discipleship.” Here are the current dates for Holy Baptism, at either 8:00am or 10:00am:
January 11, 2026 – The Baptism of the Lord
February 15, 2026 – The Last Sunday after the Epiphany
April 4 & 5, 2026 – Easter Vigil & Easter Day
May 24, 2026 – Pentecost Sunday
