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.
Fall Community Meeting
October 23, 2018 at 7:00 pm
First United Methodist Church of Oak Park
324 N. Oak Park Avenue
This will be a facilitated conversation addressing the hopes and reactions and uncertainties that have been raised in our community, stemmed largely by America to Me. It will be a time for people of diverse faith to reflect together, to listen, and hopefully identify next steps that we as members of the faith community want to make happen. The facilitator will be Reesheda Graham-Washington, founder of L!VE Cafe and the co-author of recently published Soul Force: Seven Pivots toward Courage, Community, and Change.
