Elmhurst’s Church of Our Saviour will host an Open House and Tailgate Party to celebrate the beginning of the football season and the arrival of their new “quarterback” – the Rev. Stephen Martz -- on Sunday, September 25 at the church located at 116 E. Church Street, Elmhurst, IL (corner of Church and Kenilworth in Elmhurst).

Following 10 a.m. worship, the Open House will take the form of a classic Tailgate Party before the Bears take on the world champion Green Bay Packers at 3:15 p.m. If you can’t make it to Soldier Field that day, the church promises Tailgating in Elmhurst will be the next best thing.

Besides plenty of brats and dogs, there will be pony rides, a Moonwalk and other children’s activities – including face painting. (Sorry, no green and gold!) The only thing missing will be beer, but the church promises to make up for that with plenty of root beer. There will also be a 50/50 Drawing, and some lucky winner will receive 50%!

Visitors are welcome to come for worship at 10 a.m. and stay for the Open House between 11:15 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. or to attend just the Open House and Tailgate Party.
