All are welcome to gather for "Learning Together for the Transformation of the World." Sessions are based on "Finding Peace in an Anxious World," the 2020 Spiritual Growth Study authored by staff members of the Urban Village Church (Chicago) that uses the book of Proverbs and “The Serenity Prayer” as a guide to help Christians find their way through anxiety, worry, and fear and move towards God’s peace that surpasses all understanding. 

Please register by August 12.  A link to the event will be emailed to you upon receipt of the registration fee. Questions? Contact Betty Erickson at NILUMS.registrar@gmail.com or 630-701-5672.
