Celebrating Chapel Choir Seniors
This weekend, we would have celebrated the 50th Chapel Choir Tour, and, in a few weeks, our current Chapel Choir, who would have been leaving for their annual tour.
In honor of these canceled celebrations, Deacon Wes created a video to celebrate our Chapel Choir seniors and congratulate them on their graduation! Enjoy!
Pastor Claude King's Response to Police Killings
June 2020
To the Downers Grove First UMC Family,
I am deeply saddened and angered by the recent citizen killing of Ahmaud Arbery, and the police involved killings of Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd, whose recent murder has sparked the weekend peaceful protests in approximately 100 cities across the country. These protests were also deeply marred by severe injuries and possible death of at least one police officer, the destruction of many small and large businesses, and widespread looting and rioting in many of those same cities.
