The Wine Exchange

Support Your Neighbors at St. Charles Episcopal Event
St. Charles Episcopal Church is hosting a Feeding Ministries Fundraiser at The Wine Exchange in St. Charles on Thursday evening, September 24 beginning at 5:30 p.m. The church has an extensive history of feeding those in need in the Fox Valley, with over 30 years of service to the Trinity Sandwich Board and Hesed House,&nbsp; 15 years of their monthly Free Spaghetti Dinner, and most recently adding Carroll Towers and Lazarus House to their ministry. As corporate food donations have declined the need has increased, with the church now currently serving close to 700 meals each month. They hope to be able to sustain their level of assistance and be prepared to handle any growth the community requires.
The fundraiser will include wine tasting and hors d’oeuvres, a raffle and silent auction, desserts, and additional wine purchases; non-alcoholic beverages will also be served. The Wine Exchange is located at 1 Illinois St #140, St Charles, IL. Tickets can be purchased on the websites of both The Wine Exchange and St Charles Episcopal Church.

HAMMERFALL: No matter how much everything changes in culture and the world at large, heavy metal endures. It empowers, engages, and engenders strength, ultimately it outlasts fads. The same can be said for HAMMERFALL. Since forming in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1993, the now quintet of Oscar Dronjak [guitar], Joacim Cans [vocals], Fredrik Larsson [bass], Pontus Norgen [guitar], and David Wallin [drums] have weathered the many storms of changing trends within the music world to stand tall as pioneers who continue to wave the flag of Heavy Metal. In HAMMERFALL’s thirty-year career, the Swedish titans have topped album charts both in their home country as well as internationally, sold out tours, exceeded over 100 million streams and 100 million YouTube views and over 1.5 million albums sold, all while earning multiple Grammy nominations in Sweden, continuing to uphold this venerable legacy with each new release. Having returned to their label home Nuclear Blast in late 2022, HAMMERFALL celebrated a career milestone when it was announced that Renegade, Crimson Thunder, No Sacrifice, No Victory and Chapter V: Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken had all achieved gold status in Sweden. And stoking the flames higher – it was revealed that Crimson Thunder had surpassed 60,000 sales and hit Platinum status. In 2023 the band celebrate the success of Crimson Thunder achieving Platinum status in Sweden, continuing their retrospective series, HAMMERFALL will be releasing its very own 20-Year Anniversary edition. The fourth studio album has been remixed and remastered by Fredrik Nordstrom, this definitive version will include previously unreleased pre-production tracks a brand-new medley and live acoustic songs.
EVERGREY: From Gothenburg, Sweden’s melodic core, Evergrey formed in 1995 as heavy metal’s electrifying force. Led by singer and guitarist Tom S. Englund, they craft stories of the human psyche, inner darkness, and healing through music that resonates deeply. Evergrey stands out with subtle innovation—they ignore fads to build tracks that mix sharp riffs, symphonic waves, and Englund’s raw, moving voice.
ELVENKING: Elvenking&nbsp;is an Italian power metal/folk metal&nbsp;band from Sacile – Forging a potent magic stronger than ever by evoking the essence of heavy metal, pagan metal, folk and melodic death metal, Elvenking sets sail to horizons more distant than ever before, boldly taking the world by storm with their quintessentially unique approach to heavy, powerful music.
