Our theme for 2026 is “We ARE One Community,” and our guest presentation is from DuPage United. We will also have a photo gallery of community events over the years. If you will be attending with four or more, please email npdnelson1@gmail.com. Join us and fellow DuPage residents to celebrate each other. We ARE one community, together.
First Congregational of Glen Ellyn is a member of DuPage United. DuPage United is an inclusive, non-profit, non-partisan organization whose members are civil society institutions: churches, mosques, synagogues, non-profit agencies, and associations. This mix of institutions has come together to form public relationships and to act together to improve the quality of life for individuals, families and communities. DuPage United engages in democratic action in the public arena.
Please contact Clara Hughes at if you have any questions.
Literacy DuPage, a part of DuPage United, seeks volunteers to tutor adults in English. More than 100,000 DuPage County residents need help improving their English skills. Empowering an adult with language will change that person’s life-and yours, too. No foreign language or teaching experience needed. Just time and heart.
On Tuesday, March 28, 2023, the DuPage County Health Department announced the formation of a Behavioral Health Crisis Center, with comprehensive crisis stabilization services. Once completed, residents in crisis will be transported to the Crisis Center and treated by mental health and substance abuse professionals, avoiding crowded hospital emergency rooms or jail.
DuPage United will continue to work alongside the DuPage County Health Department and our elected officials to assure these services, and the needed wrap-around services such as affordable housing, become a reality for all of our DuPage County neighbors. Contact Roger Hughes with questions.
DuPage United “packed the house” at Faith Lutheran Glen Ellyn last Thursday, when over 250 attended the Celebration and Call to Action for Glen Ellyn’s new 640 Taft Avenue affordable and supportive housing development. Many elected officials attended. FCCGE/DU core leaders Clara and Roger Hughes, Laura Peccarelli, Andy Livingston and Rev. Seth Carey participated in planning, speaking and logistics roles.
FCCGE is an open and affirming community who rejoices in God’s work
