Our Voices
Now through November 23
The always-popular “Our Voices” adult education series has returned, meeting in the Conference Room at 9:00 am. Each week, a speaker shares their expertise and experience, offering their insights in a wide variety of topics. Here’s a peek at what is in store:
November 2: Pat Sage, Kristin Williams, and Margie Veseling will share their thoughts on this summer’s Adult Go and Serve mission trip to El Paso, Texas. Rev. Marta Pumroy from the Tres Rios Border Foundation, our mission partner, will join us via Zoom.
November 9: Acting Head of Staff Michelle Hwang will talk about what she did during her sabbatical this summer and how that parallels with the experiences the congregation had during the summer.
November 16: Come and learn more about Abby Beck’s involvement with the Conservation Foundation.
Our Voices will continue through November 23. Watch the church publications for more info as it becomes available.

Restaurant Outings
FVPC members and friends get together to enjoy dinner at a local restaurant every few months, with the restaurant donating a portion of our dinner bills to the church. Our latest gathering took place on October 30 at Portofino Trattoria in St. Charles, where everyone enjoyed delicious food and wonderful fellowship. Questions? Please contact Liz Holding (lizholding@comcast.net or (847) 606-8246).
New Women’s Group
The Fellowship Team invites all women looking for a new evening women’s group for conversation/Bible study/book discussions/service projects to attend a planning meeting. Debra Mengler will host this planning meeting on Monday, November 17, in the Cafe, 7:00-9:00 pm. At the meeting, we will discuss everyone’s ideas and then determine if we need more than one group and the best times to meet. Let Deb know if you need childcare as that will also be on the discussion table.
Presbyterian Women
All women of the church are invited to participate in a Presbyterian Women (PW) circle, which is affiliated with the PC(USA) national Presbyterian Women organization. The Sewing Circle meets on Monday mornings. Contact the church office to be put in touch with a current Circle leader.
Congregational Revitalization through Community Organizing
Through our membership in the Fox River Valley Initiative we have access to training that will teach us how to build meaningful relationships and have purposeful conversations as we seek to love, grow, and serve together. We also have the opportunity to participate in events to educate ourselves and help make our community a better place. Contact Pastor Michelle to learn about the next FRVI actions or meetings.
