Study and discussion groups are diverse and eclectic. There
are always several offerings going, and we retool them regularly
to meet current needs. Among recent discussion groups:
- a women’s study of the book Amazing Grace, by
Kathleen Norris;
- a class on theology perspectives (including those of St
Augustine, Whitehead, and other process theologians and
philosophers),
- a study of the book of Psalms,
- Bible study for adult beginners, and
- a series on journey sharing by members of the congregation.
This year you will find lots of opportunities to gather and discuss issues as poverty, localized economies, child care, and interfaith relations. We will partner with other local congregations (Christian and Jewish) to learn about God and our neighbors. All are welcome!

With Joel Styzens with cellist Sophie Webber :: Singer-songwriter Heather Styka
After Joel Styzens was diagnosed with tinnitus & hyperacusis, he left his career as a professional drummer to begin composing for guitar and collaborating with cellist Katinka Kleijn from the Chicago Symphony, releasing "An exquisite debut album" according to Time Out Chicago with "music that you feel down in your soul" (Music Examiner).
Join us for his music and his story.
Heather's latest release, Travel and Teacups, features image-based lyrics with a compelling sense of poetry. Her warm, breathy vocals and distinct guitar style deliver songs that analyze the importance of places, relationships, family, imagination, and inspiration itself. In addition to having received airplay on folk radio shows from Alaska to Australia, she's graced the stages of Chicago venues such as Schubas and the Double Door, and has opened for Suzanne Vega.
