Christianity has a rich tradition of contemplative prayer, inviting us to draw closer to God through silence and stillness. At First Congregational Church of LaGrange, we gather on Tuesday evenings to quiet our minds and listen for God’s presence within. We meet in the Beatitudes Chapel (the 6th Avenue Entrance will be open) from 5–7 pm on most Tuesdays. This is an open, welcoming space for prayerful reflection and calm. No experience is needed, and you don’t need to attend every week—or attend for a set period of time, come whenever you are able and stay for as long as you like.   All are welcome.

Join us for our annual CROP WALK on Sunday, September 27th, at 1:00pm.

There are many references in the Bible of spiritual walking. ​

Gal. 5:25, “If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk (stoichew) by the Spirit.” Eph. 5:1, 2, “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk (peripatew) in love, just as Christ also loved you.

On select dates, Wacky Walkers meet after Sunday worship at a local Forest Preserve (i.e., Hidden Lakes, Salt Creek Woods Nature Preserve) for a shared walk through the trails followed by fellowship as a designated hosting house or restaurant.

To learn more and join the Wacky Walkers, contact Jerry Palmer, Petra Hentzel, or Angela Harrison.
