Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.

As God's light dawns on this world, there is much to share about life at Reconciler.

Soon you will find a change online. We will move to www.jesuschristreconciler.org, a new webspace. We hope you visit often.

Larry and Tripp have office hours! In an effort to make ourselves more available, Larry will be meditating (read: hanging out) at Metropolis and Ennui, two local coffee shops. You can find him at Metropolis (1039 W. Granville) on Tuesdays from 6:30pm - 8:30pm and Ennui (6981 N Sheridan) at the same times on Thursdays. Tripp will be at loitering at Kopi Cafe (5317 N. Clark) on Mondays from 7:00 - 9:00pm and at Pause (1107 W Berwyn) on Wednesdays at the same time. The hope is to be more visible and available to those who attend Reconciler and the community at large.

This Sunday we will begin a contemplative prayer group at 5:30 before our service begins. All are invited to attend.

Finally, Keep your eyes peeled for advertisements in the Reader, Performinc, and Streetwise papers. You may seen an advertisement or two.

This is the season of Epiphany. It is a season devoted to dreams and visions, stars and wisdom. Has God given you a vision this season, a vision for yourself, Reconciler, the Church or the world? May God grant you the faith and courage to share it with us.
