The Community of Congregations is an interfaith organization serving the greater Oak Park - River Forest, Illinois area. We support PADS [Public Action to Deliver Shelter], the Cluster Tutoring Program, the annual Crop Walk, the Walk-in-Ministry, the Oak Park/River Forest Food pantry, and the Holiday Food and Gift Basket program [HFGB], under a grant provided by Youth Services of Oak Park and River Forest Townships. In addition to these ministries we sponsor a variety of programs including the community's annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Service, one of the oldest such programs in the Chicagoland area. Friend us on facebook or email us with any questions at OPRFCOC@gmail.com.
Community of Congregations remembers Devell Hill, a force for peace and restorative justice in our community. Mr. Hill was shot and killed on January 29 outside of the Boxing Out Negativity gym where he had been a faithful volunteer. He had been a special, invited guest to the Community of Congregations Fall Meeting. We pray for comfort and healing for his family, and an end to the violence that brings so much pain. To read more about Mr. Hill’s extraordinary life and to support his family, please visit his memorial page: In Memory of Devell Hill.
