Visit to United Church of Rogers Park

Saturday, May 16

Join the Missions, Justice & Community Work Area as we host a visit to our sister church on the northeast side of Chicago – United Church of Rogers Park – on Saturday, May 16. Learn about the church’s outreach to their community of ethnic, economic and religious diversity. Tour their sanctuary and facilities, see garden spaces “loaned” by local residents to benefit neighbors in need. Learn more about the long-standing summer mission of DGFUMC junior high youth at UCRP. Enjoy lunch in a neighborhood restaurant. Experience a Peace Circle, as our host, Rev. Wes Dorr, shows us how they teach young men leaving gangs to become more peaceful. 

Contact Jean Krusinski at 630.910.3153 to learn more and to register. Plan to meet at the DGFUMC parking lot at 8:30 a.m. to car pool. Expect to return to DG mid-afternoon.
