Welcome from The Rev. Edward Blonski
I’m glad you stopped by! But I wanted you to know that sometimes you’ll find me at the church, in my office. Sometimes you’ll see me up in front of the sanctuary leading worship or preaching. There are times you’ll see me in front of a group of men and women leading a Bible study. And maybe sometimes you’ll see me walking on one of the trails in the forest preserves or neighborhoods in Lake County. No matter where you find me, I’m always glad to see you and I’ll do what I can to take the time to talk with you (if I’m preaching or leading worship, we will have to wait ‘till after the last song).
