175th Anniversary

Many thanks to all the members of our church family who have supported Project 175Q, during this 175th Anniversary Year.

Your support has enable us to send 12 quilts to Guatemala City with our mission delegates and be able to donate 152 quilts to local charities.

Please join us on Sunday, February 12, when the quilts will be displayed in the Sanctuary from 2 to 4pm.

There is only a limited supply still available of the church’s 175th Celebration Mugs and Ornaments. Remember these are great gifts ideas for any occasion. They will be available in the parlor on the three Sundays prior to Christmas and at other times you may purchase them in the church office.

Emphasizing our long history of worship in Downers Grove, the black and white mugs come alive with rich colors when hot liquid is added. Like magic, scenes of the early log cabin in the woods along with a full view of the current church are revealed.

The custom designed etched glass ornament can also be used as a sun catcher. The church’s bell tower is featured along with the 175th theme of “Celebrating Our Past; Committed to Our Future.” It is a special keepsake of historic significance.

Each of these Commemorative items is a lasting gift for only $10.00. If paying by check, please make payable to First United Methodist Church with the designation of 175th Celebration.

There are also 175th Commemorative historical booklets still available. A $2-$5 donation is requested to cover printing costs.
