Grace’s Christmas Tree Trim 2024

This year’s Christmas Tree Trim in River Forest was extra special for Grace Lutheran Church and School as we teamed up to decorate Grace’s tree. The collaboration was a beautiful expression of our shared community, bringing together school families, church members, and staff to celebrate the season.

The decorating crew included leaders from both church and school: Pastor Troy Medlin, Julie Modrich, Amanda Smith, Mary Williams, and Ana Chignoli. Our ornaments were a heartfelt mix—class photos from the Grace School Walkathon beautifully showcased our school spirit, while Grace Church’s Sunday School children added their artistic flair with hand-decorated ornaments.

Amidst the sound of Christmas music filling the air, we enjoyed the task and the time spent together. It was great fun singing along to Christmas songs while decorating our tree.

We encourage everyone to stop by and see Grace Lutheran’s tree on Lake Street, right across from Jewel in River Forest. It’s a symbol of the love, faith, and connection that define our Grace community.

We can’t wait to join forces again next year for another festive season. Wishing you all a blessed and merry Christmas!
