Christmas Pageant on TV News
On Christmas Eve Pastor Camille shared with ABC 7 Chicago, “It's truly a night where we move from darkness into total light, where the candles are lit and pass from one person to another. And the symbolism of that, it’s hard not to get caught up in the sort of contagious joy of being here, young and old.” Watch here the interview, along with footage from our Children’s Pageant.

If we’re streaming it, you can click here to view it! That includes worship on Sundays, December 28 and January 4 at 10:00 a.m. as well as Sunday Adult Education classes and Friday Noonday Concerts.

Sharing Joy This Season
This season we invite you to share Christmas joy with those in need by giving a gift to Light Up a Life. Gifts provide funds for Fourth Church programs that support our neighbors and congregation and for Chicago Lights, as it extends kindness and love to those who are most vulnerable.
Wishing You a Merry Christmas
“From all of us at Fourth Presbyterian Church and Chicago Lights, we wish you a very Merry Christmas!” We invite you to watch our video greeting card to hear from some of the many individuals joining you in making ministry and outreach at Fourth Church and Chicago Lights possible. To all of you, we wish you blessings in this season and in the year ahead!

Whether you connect with us online regularly or only rarely, be sure to explore the wide variety of ways available for engaging online with Fourth Church and with one another, whether it be through Zoom Coffee Hour (here at 10:30 a.m. on Sundays), Bible studies, and classes; livestreamed worship; or hybrid presentations.
Pausing at the Turning of the Year
We will again come together in person with neighbors and our friends from Holy Name Cathedral for the annual New Year’s Eve service in the style of Taizé. On Wednesday, December 31 we will gather in our Sanctuary for this quiet 6:30 p.m. candlelit service that offers moving music, space for prayer, and meditative pause for reflecting on the year past and looking ahead to the year to come.

A welcoming, serving community, reflecting the inclusive love of God
If you are new to Fourth Church, or are searching for new ways to connect with this congregation, we are glad you have found us here—and invite you to be with us on Chicago’s North Michigan Avenue, where we come together in community as Fourth Presbyterian Church.
Come join us at the intersection of fath and life as we share God’s grace with one another and the world through worship, preaching, education, and ministries of healing, reconciliation, and justice.
Inspired by the radical hospitality of Jesus Christ, we welcome everyone, without exception, into the life of this congregation. Guided by our Antiracism Covenant, we seek to embrace values and practices that enable us to experience Beloved Community, where differences are seen as assets that are celebrated and experienced as strengths.
