Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and Academy experienced a multi-alarm fire at their 525 63rd Street facility. Worshippers cannot occupy their church facility, which prompted Worship service on Sundays in the parking lot. Worship Ministry leaders are evaluating long-term temporary worship locations while they rebuild. Current time and location details are available via the calendar on their website.
“We are grateful to Downers Grove Grade School District 58 for providing their indoor facility as temperatures drop and inclement weather becomes more likely,” said Outreach Ministry member Joe Garetto.
Donations are being collected through the Good Shepherd website Building Fund.
This is a developing story.
