News from around the Central Illinois District

Illinois Pro-Life March Details - March 19, 2026
The Illinois Pro-Life March will be held in just over a week, on Thursday, March 19, 2026. There will be a LCMS Matins service prior to the rally and march. We hope you will not only attend the service but also then march in order to confess before the world to the sanctity and dignity of human life, from conception to natural death.
The details:
  • 11:00 AM – Matins at Trinity Lutheran Church, 220 S. Second St., Springfield, IL
  • Following the Service – Box lunches available in the Grand Ballroom at the State House Inn, 101 E Adams Street, Springfield, IL (suggested donation of $5/lunch, please; cash or check made out to Central Illinois District)
  • 1:00 PM – Rally at the Lincoln Statue in front of the Illinois Capitol Building, 401 S 2nd St, Springfield, IL
  • 2:00 PM – The March
  • Following the March, consider heading into the Capitol Building to lobby your state legislator and senator.
Parking
Parking is available in the lot to the west of the State House Inn, at the northwest corner of the intersection of 1st St. and W Adams St. Please consider carpooling with other marchers from your area in order to reduce the number of cars in the parking lot and ensure spaces for all. Otherwise, parking is available in paid lots and spaces throughout downtown Springfield. Details on the Illinois Pro-Life March can be found at their website: https://www.illinoisprolifemarch.com

TRE ORE SERVICE
On Good Friday (April 3) a Tre Ore service will be held at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Springfield from 12pm-3pm in conjunction with Springfield circuit pastors. A Tre Ore service is a three-hour service broken into seven 20-25 minutes blocks that reflect on the seven last words of Christ and His Passion. People are invited to stay for the whole Tre Ore service, but if you need to leave, one may do so quietly during the five minutes of silent meditation. Feel free to stay, come, and/or go any time during the three hours as your schedule allows as we celebrate and reflect on the Passion of our Lord.

Lutheran High Auction
Lutheran High School's 36th Annual Auction is on Friday, April 10. Doors open at 5:30 pm at Northfield Inn and Suites. There will be heavy hors d'oeuvres, a cash bar, along with a live and silent auction. Tickets are $50 per person. Secure your tickets and sponsorships by March 25!
