Send us a textPhil Nawrocki joins us for our second Nightcap with the Noras! Listen in as he takes us on a journey from Chicago loft living to becoming a central figure in the Western Springs community. What makes this conversation fascinating is Phil's natural path to local governance. After sending a hopeful email to the village caucus, he was told to "become president of your subdivision first"—a challenge he embraced wholeheartedly. Soon he was walking every street in Ridgewood documenting potholes and transforming neighborhood social gatherings. His hands-on approach demonstrates how accessible small-town governance can be when residents roll up their sleeves.The episode takes a delightful turn when Phil reveals the origin story of Western Springs' famous "Penguin House"—an inherited tradition featuring 80 illuminated penguins that his family arranges in themed displays each Christmas season. From boxing rings to red carpets, these creative scenes have become a beloved community attraction created with the help of his four children. Equally charming is the tale of his wife Amanda's legendary jello shots color-matched to team uniforms at their children's sporting events.Beyond the entertaining anecdotes lies a thoughtful exploration of what makes communities thrive. Phil describes Western Springs as "Mayberry-like," where neighbors know each other, stop to chat on sidewalks, and even knock on the village trustee's door with concerns. It's a refreshing reminder that meaningful connections still form the backbone of truly special places to live.Have you witnessed how small acts of community involvement can transform a neighborhood? What traditions have you started that bring people together? Listen, reflect, and perhaps be inspired to take that first step toward deeper community engagement wherever you call home.Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!

New images have given Aucklanders a closer look at the Western Springs Stadium proposal backed by Auckland FC and their billionaire owners. The images and a new video feature in a campaign to generate public support for the stadium, which has been called Auckland Arena. The website said there would be zero cost to the ratepayer with $300 million in private funding secured already to deliver the project. Auckland FC co-owner Ali Williams says Aucklanders deserve a smaller, intimate 'family-friendly' stadium - and this presents the perfect opportunity. "You've got to remember that the sport is not just about the product on the field, it's about the vibe outside the field, around the field, it's about families feeling comfortable, it's about people being passionate and bringing communities together."

Lots going on this Sunday morning! At both 8:45 and 10am worship, Rev. Rich Kirchherr will preach a sermon that helps us to better understand how we might engage two similar stories from the gospel, when their endings are very different. What do we do with that? Might the two different endings actually help us better understand how faith in Jesus is dynamic and not fixed? Our wonderful Bell Choir will play at both services and at the 10am service we will welcome new members to our congregation.Link to Livestream:https://youtube.com/live/sAHSSw-96FgLink to Start of Sermon:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAHSSw-96Fg&t=2300sIf you are new to our faith community and are interested in learning more, please go to⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Welcome to First Congo Online - First Congregational Church of Western Springs

The Opry is a coffee roastery by day and a lively craft cocktail bar by night. You'll love our chat about this unique space that buzzes with creativity and family-friendly vibes. Dan shares one of their best cocktails, "The Pollinator," a refreshing blend of lemon juice, honey, lavender, and gin. We explore how this place fosters an inclusive atmosphere where everyone can contribute to the drink menu, enjoy an eclectic mix of beverages, and even bring their own food, making it a perfect spot for diverse tastes and interests.Everyday adventures take center stage with a comical carpool mishap that left one Nora's daughter behind, and the quirks of email management challenges with Hotmail's new format.
