Blue Island congregation with 1850s roots prepares for church’s final service: ‘It’s going to be a sad day’
Grace United Methodist Church, a fixture in Blue Island for decades, is more than just a building to its leaders and members, who have made the difficult decision to close the church.
“When you close a church, that’s not only the building you are moving away from. You are losing ground as a denomination, that family connection and network,” said Pastor Innis Miller III. “So this love has a ripple effect through different things.”
The last service is set for 11 a.m. Sunday and is open to everyone.
