Steelband Performances and Community Meals Await You!

Feeling hungry for good music? Northern Illinois Steelband is ready to serenade you at Abundant Grace United Church of Christ in Homewood on March 9. The show starts at 6:30 PM sharp! If you love the sound of steelpans, you’ll be thrilled to know that this band has been playing internationally since 1973. Don't miss it if you have ties to Northern Illinois University – alums and fans are welcome with open arms. Tickets are $15 for adults and just $10 for students. The venue is fully accessible, so everyone can enjoy the concert together. Want to give back while munching on some treats? Head over to St. Terrence in Blue Island or St. Albert the Great Church in Burbank. They’re hosting fish fries every Friday until March 22! Whether you prefer fried or baked, there's something for everyone. If fish isn’t your thing, no problem – they have other options too! Dine-in or take out, the choice is yours. Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Palos Heights invites you to their Lenten suppers on Wednesdays until March 27. The meal includes an entree, side dishes, dessert, and drinks for a freewill offering. Plus, they’re having special Lenten services both online and offline featuring characters from the Gospel of Mark. St. George Parish in Tinley Park is holding fair trade sales after Masses on March 2 and 3. Grab some coffee, tea, or hot cocoa while supporting a good cause. They’re also organizing a prayer service to heal the world of violence on March 10 – join them if you want to make a difference.
