This screening is the perfect event for anyone who loves Christmas, enjoys a heartfelt feel-good movie, or wants to learn more about filmmaking. Don't miss your chance to be part of this cinematic experience! In a feel-good, rom-com style, ?Christmas in Chicago? turns the city vs. small town trope on its head.

First, she needs the heartbroken city alderman, Austin Ward, to approve her plan. Then, she must help him heal before he shuts down the whole campaign. Viewers may recognize several Chicago-based actors in supporting roles, including Julian Griffith (Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., Chicago Med) as Tommy, Tracey Greenwood as Maggie, and The Second City Casting Director Claudia Michelle Wallace as Mama K. Businesses involved in the movie include Timeless Toys, Gene?s Sausage Shop, Book Cellar, Pulling Down the Moon, Genevieve, Mira Couture, Lou Malnati?s, Vaca?s Creamery, KickHouse, Garcia?s, Himmel?s, Stanley Brown Jewelist, Midwest Nice, A Pretty Flower and Yum Dum Food Truck, with the support of the Lincoln Square Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce.

The Longest Night Service is a time to recognize that Christmas can be a bittersweet time of the year. Events take place at this time of the year that simply make celebration impossible ? illness, sudden death of a loved one, or the burden of caring for a loved one, the loss of a job, oppressive financial difficulties, strained family relations, divorce or separation. For some people, Christmas may simply bring up memories of a difficult and troubled past. On this longest darkest night, we come together to realize that we are not alone, and we share God's presence during this season.
