I am very Disappointed in the Church. My Family has been members of the church for well over 50…read moreyears. My parents sent 6 children to school there. Mom used to volunteer with the funeral lunches with making food, serving and assisting with clean up. She was part of the women's club she was very much involved in the church all of these years. Mom would go to mass daily. My mother will soon be 95 years old and she had been homebound for several years and was unable to go to church. When she was able to go to church it was always 7 am mass and she sat in the front pue. My disappointment was when I had called to the Rectory to ask if someone could please come to my mother's home to bless her and give her communion. The response was "Oh I'm sorry e don't do that anymore. My mother hasn't been able to attend church for almost 10 years now and no one from St. Raymonds even tried to reach out to see if she needed anything or if she was even still alive. Sad that a parishioner for over 50 years and no one remembers. The funny thing is they keep sending envelopes for the Sunday collections and also any other donations they need. Very Sad that they know how to get the donation envelopes to her and she doesn't even live in Illinois anymore. Maybe St Raymonds church needs to learn the true meaning of a Christian and practice what they preach,

As you walk in, the church has a modern Christian feel. The church space was a former brewery and restaurant, but you wouldn't have guessed, they made it work. They are very friendly and welcomes new guest with a smile! They offered free coffee and water and it looks like you can also bring your own beverage into the service area. The music can be a bit loud but they also provide free ear plugs as needed in the front entrance. The service area is two floors. The 2nd floor is open so you can see the stage when you are looking down. The singers and live music was pretty good. They even had the words of the songs on the 3 jumbo screens so you can sing along as loud as your heart desires! They have a pastor who spoke with heart and you can relate to the message, funny guy. They even had video clips, props that keeps you engaged that you will laugh and shed some tears during the service. No judgement here everyone seems to be open and friendly. They even have people if you wish for a personal prayer after service if you need it. Overall, it was a good experience. Want to connect with God and be part of an Elgin Christian church? Then make the time to check it out and connect with them. We'd come back here again for service when we're in the area.

The church has containers of free ear plugs for people who don't enjoy loud, enthusiastic worship music. The words for the worship songs are on screens at the front of the church to make it easy for people to sing along. The Pastor (Dan Alarcon) is very warm, spiritually mature, and funny. His messages are clear and easy to understand. Pastor Dan, or "P.D." as some people call him, uses video clips and other visual aids to keep the audience interested and following along during the sermons. My husband and I continue to attend and to appreciate this church and the people who attend it. Of course, since the COVID-19 crisis hit Illinois, Discovery Church has followed all of the Governor's recommendations. The church has recently begun meeting again on Sundays, but are seating individuals, couples, and family groups six feet apart from one another. My husband and I heartily recommend this church to anyone searching for spiritual guidance, friendship, and human connections. The church offers mid-week classes and groups. There's something for everyone at Discovery Church (DC)!

The attendees left in stages: some during communion, some after communion, some after the benediction, some after the final hymn. The music was surprising poor. Even so one wonders why the majority of folks didn't sing. Blame us the laity for poor conduct. Blame us for poor catechesis. At any rate the C&E Club continues to grow and thrive. So sad. Father Gus deserved better from us.
