Speaker: Mark Thompson’s Topic:
Is the United States a democracy or a republic? Does it make any difference? Why is it so difficult for the federal government to accomplish anything? Our structure of government seems so complicated. In a movie a few years ago, a Congressman is asked why is Congress saying one thing and doing nothing, to which the Congressman replies: “Well, it’s tradition mostly.” 2024 is a Presidential election year (didn’t we just have one?). We have a President and a former President. The program will not be a political discussion but will help you look at the federal government and issues in the news from a different perspective – through the lens of our Constitution – to provide context and a better understanding. I also plan to bring some items for display.
Mark Thompson’s background:
Southminster member Mark Thompson has had a very interesting, varied career. He is a former Assistant State’s Attorney, former judge in the State’s administrative legal system, former Deputy Director in the enforcement division of the Illinois Secretary of State, former Legal Counsel to the Lt. Governor, and now Deputy General Counsel for Professional Regulation in the Illinois Dept. of Financial and Professional Regulation overseeing legal issues related to professional licensure. During his senior year of college, he was a Congressional intern in the House of Representatives in Washington. He also was an adjunct professor in the 1990s teaching government and the Constitution. He has a BA in history and political science from Augustana College and a Juris Doctor (JD) degree from IIT/Chicago-Kent College of Law. He has been a licensed attorney in the State of Illinois since 1980. In addition, he holds licenses to practice before the U.S. District Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals, and in March 2024, he was granted a license to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Two Uniquely Different Musical Events on Sundays August 18 and August 25
August 18 11:15 AM: Come hear Marshall Hjertstedt perform a different kind of music, some of his original songs that put life in perspective. His original song, Merry-Go-Round sums up his life as a musician and his approach to songwriting, “I’ve got something to say, but I just don’t know how to say it. So I wrote this song.” Song writing became a way to condense and express the emotions the world stirs up in us all, a way to put life in perspective. Marshall will have his CDs to buy with the donations going to the church. Be sure to come and hear this treasure within our own midst! To learn more about Marshall see More about Marshall Hjertstedt: below!
August 25 11:15 AM: “Old hymns of Faith Sing along” The old hymns of Faith tell stories in a melodic, unique way. Bill Bauza will accompany his wife Marg’s singing. We’ll project the lyrics on the screen. If there’s a favorite you wish to hear, let Bill (bauza2015@comcast.net) or Marg know ahead of time so we’ll have the lyrics ready too. An old-fashioned hymn sing will bring smiles to everyone’s face!
More about Marshall Hjertstedt:
You may think you know him, someone who plays the guitar and sings nearly every Sunday for Southminster. But did you know…
- that he is a founding member of Central Road?
- an award-winning composer?
- a recording artist?
- a regular at Hey Nonny in downtown Arlington Heights and at the Copper Fiddle Distillery?
- both a solo performer and with his band, Marshall and the Deputies?
There is so much more to know about Marshall Hjertstedt! His singing career began with a junior high talent show – and the girls screamed! And he never looked back! Music has always been Marshall’s true love, even as he put it aside to raise a family and pursue a successful career as an architect. He came back to music, recorded three CDs, Overflow of the Heart in 2007, Painting the Scene in 2012 which received excellent reviews and local airplay, and Carnivals & Other Tragedies in 2018,
Also consider joining his friends at Hey Nonny on August 24th!
