Church of the Holy Spirit

About this church

The Church of the Holy Spirit is an Episcopal parish in downtown Lake Forest, Illinois, just east of Market Square and the Lake Forest train station. Sunday worship is a Holy Eucharist offered twice: at 7:30 a.m. in the traditional language of Rite I and at 9:30 a.m. in the contemporary language of Rite II. A Rite II Eucharist is also held on Saturdays at 5 p.m. and, from September through May, on Wednesdays at 9 a.m. Worship follows the Book of Common Prayer, and the website explains Episcopal terms for visitors who are new to the tradition. Only the Sunday 9:30 a.m. service is live-streamed on the church's YouTube channel; the other Sunday services are in person. Confirm times on the website before visiting.

Children's ministry is organized by age, from babies and toddlers through ages nine to twelve, and a youth group serves ages twelve to eighteen with gatherings, service projects and work trips. Adults can join a Sunday morning Bible study, a men's morning Bible study, a mothers' group, Faith@Work, choirs and a Benedictine cell. The parish also runs a food pantry, a prison pen pal ministry, a sister-parish partnership and an Episcopal preschool. Questions can go to the parish office at 847-234-7633.
