Adult Ministries

It's easy to get lost in a crowd, to feel lonely even though you may be surrounded by worshipers on a given Sunday. It is important for everyone to have the opportunity to be known and cared for and to find their niche in ministry. People grow spiritually in a caring, interactive group where they can ask honest questions and feel the support of fellow participants.

The following are some of the adult groups and studies available at First Presbyterian Church of La Grange. We hope you will feel welcome to join any of them. Your thoughts and ideas on possible future groups are encouraged and welcomed. Contact the Church Office for more information.

Weekly Groups

We currently have a women’s book group on Wednesday mornings at 9:30 during the school year and a men’s discussion group on Thursdays at 11:00 a.m. Contact the Church Office to find out how to get involved.

WOMEN’s ministry

Women’s Ministry offers several monthly small groups, including Bible studies, book clubs and a sewing circle; and they host monthly speakers and special programs open to everyone. Contact the Church Office at admin@fpclg.org or 708.354.0771 for more information.

sunday morning Adult Education

Our Adult Education class meets in the Parlor most Sunday mornings following the 10:00 a.m. worship service.

Women’s Ministry and Adult Education are collaborating on a special presentation following the 10:00 a.m. worship service on Sunday, January 26, Estate Planning 101: A Love Letter to Your Family: Estate planning isn’t just about documents—it’s a powerful way to care for your loved ones and organize your future. In this presentation, you’ll learn from local estate planning attorney Stephanie Posey how tools like wills, trusts and powers of attorney can provide clarity, peace of mind and protection for those you care about most. Discover how estate planning is an act of love and a practical step to ensure your wishes are honored. Bring your questions for a Q&A session after the talk! All are welcome. No reservations are needed. Snacks will be provided.

SHORT-TERM GROUPS

Occasionally we offer a limited-time small group on a special topic, sometimes coinciding with a Sunday sermon series, such as a weeknight small group during the weeks of Lent leading up to Easter.

Climate Issues Study Group

A new group is meeting on the first Thursday of each month at 7:45 p.m. in Westminster Hall to discuss climate issues. We are using a curriculum prepared by the Presbyterian Women of the PC(USA). Books cost $15 each. Please contact Betty McGinnis or the Church Office to sign up.
