Community Groups

We are a Matthew 25 church, which means we are committed to:

* Building congregational vitality by challenging people and congregations to deepen their faith and get actively and joyfully engaged with their community and the world.

* Dismantling structural racism by advocating and acting to break down the systems, practices and thinking that underlie discrimination, bias, prejudice and oppression of people of color.

* Eradicating systemic poverty by working to change laws, policies, plans and structures in our society that perpetuate economic exploitation of people who are poor.

The Committee on Anti-Racism & Equity (CARE) strives to provide opportunities for members of our congregation and wider community to learn and grow in their understanding of anti-racism; establish and grow deeper partnerships that foster racial reconciliation with accountability to people of color, and communicate about this work both within our congregation and in the wider world.

This is complex and crucial peacemaking work, and we invite you to engage!

Two Sundays a month on Zoom from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM

The First Presbyterian Church of Libertyville Caregivers Support Group provides information, encouragement and support to individuals who are caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s/Dementia as well as any chronic illness requiring extensive care, i.e. COPD, stroke, cancer, opioid/alcohol related illnesses, accident/trauma, etc.

We meet on Sundays, twice a month on Zoom from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM and help our members care for themselves—and their loved ones—as they struggle with changing roles and responsibilities. We have open, honest, hard discussions and deal with all the emotions that come up—from frustration, anger, guilt and despair to joy, gratitude, delight and relief. And we learn from each other as we share the care-giving journey together. All conversations are held in strictest confidence.

We open and close with prayer—for understanding, for discernment, for right decision-making, for patience, for forgiveness and for a sense of humor.

We are non-judgmental.

We are accepting and supporting.

We are a safe place—and you are not alone.
