I was welcomed in post finishing my run all sweaty, and have been going every since : ) What I really love about New Story is their approach in the community. At New Story, I feel welcome, and have also been invited to dinner at the Pastors house on a Friday evening. Another thing that I love are the sermons, and also outside speakers that come out to speak to the church as a whole. New Story is also a diverse church, that sits in between Bryn Mawr, and Thorndale stops; located in Swift Elementary School Bldg. Come on out; Sunday at 10:30am, and wear your comfy clothes.

The space itself is stunning, with vintage stained glass that glows softly with the light and breathtaking artifacts that carry echoes of generations past. Every detail--from the architecture to the quiet reverence in the air--adds to its timeless beauty. Standing on the corner of Sacramento and Lexington, it feels like a living piece of history, the kind of sacred place that reminds you how important it is to preserve these treasures. Churches like this are slowly disappearing, which makes moments spent inside them feel even more meaningful and unforgettable.

Well, I hate giving a church anything less than a 4 or 5 star rating, but I have some personal…read moreobservations that are very important to me that keep me from rating this church any higher. My one really big concern is one that I'm sure some will find equally important and some will dismiss as a non issue. First I'll start out with a minor observation that although it's not very important to me others may find it fairly important so I'll mention it. What I'm referring to is a pretty lukewarm welcome. There was a nice young lady at the door when I entered the church and a couple men just inside the entryway who smiled and said hi and that was the only welcome I received from anybody. Personally I don't go to church to make friends and am there almost exclusively to hear the Word of God through the sermon that the Pastor preaches. For other people who do want a warm welcome when they visit a church this may be an area that this church wants to consider making some changes to accommodate those peoples feelings. Now on to the reason I don't feel I can rate this church any higher. When I visited a few weeks ago the Pastor was preaching on family and at one point he read a verse from the Bible that stated along the general line that if a person divorces and remarries they are committing adultery. At that point he did acknowledge that yes that verse is an uncomfortable one for many people within the church and then he quickly moved on to other points. I'm not coming at this point from a holier than thou attitude since I am divorced and I'm sure if he'd have expanded on the subject I'm sure I'd have been kind of uncomfortable and squirming in my seat some, but hey I'm there to hear the Word of God not what I necessarily want to hear so I couldn't have complained if he had discussed this verse that could affect so many people, myself included. My problem is I honestly believe the churches of our society are almost becoming more like social clubs instead of places we go to hear the Word of God preached. Nowdays pastors seem to want to preach the parts of the Bible that give their congregation those nice warm fuzzy feelings, but won't take a stand and preach on the parts of the Bible that make their congregations really think about where they may really need to adjust their beliefs or actions. I do believe it is appropriate to preach those warm fuzzy parts of the Bible, but I also believe that ALL of God's word needs to be preached even if it makes the people in the congregation or the preacher feel uncomfortable. Maybe this was just a one time thing, but to me it really reminded me of so many other modern churches who are unwilling to preach about sin since people don't like to hear that. Hopefully I'm wrong in my assessment of this church, but this is my honest feelings on this church. I think a person could do worse than attending this church, but I can't help wondering if maybe this is just another "social club" like so many of our other churches. I honestly hope my impression of this church is wrong and I wish them well, I just don't feel that I'll be returning.

Quaint in the way, rich people can be quaint. Not rustic, nor shabby (chic), but purposeful, we have gobs of money--quaint. I attended a wedding of a dear friend in this little charmer and the hubs and I were impressed at the word go. The church itself is tucked away in the neighborhood barely distinguishable from the perfectly manicured mansions on either side. It is, however, the oldest non-denominational church in the United States. This little tidbit served my pals well as one was Catholic and the other was...not.

Every…read moreSunday we went to a different church around the downtown area until we finally found what we were looking for...a small church, with a community feel, and an amazing priest/sermons. The following sums up Immaculate Conception: Great Priest --- Fr. Larry is amazing! He is very personable, remembers everyone by name, and most importantly delivers great sermons. We take something away from every mass we attend. Amazing Music --- The music is awesome. It's not traditional, boring church music. It's very modern, with a great rhythm and beat. Community Feel --- Fr. Larry is a big reason this church has a sense of community. Once he found out we were new to the area and church, he immediately introduce us to other parishioners and gave us a warm welcome. Free Parking & Easily Accessible ---- Do I have to say more? This is not something that's easy to find in Chicago. Immaculate Conception has its own school and parking lot that is free for parishioners. Flexible Mass Times --- Immaculate Conception also has a sister church called St.Joseph a couple blocks away. Between the two churches you have a lot of different mass times to pick and choose from. We absolutely love it here, and you will too! If your new to Chicago and looking for a great Catholic church, trust me....Immaculate Conception and St. Joseph are it! :)
