I want to take a moment to honor a woman whose work truly changed lives in this community…read more During one of the most uncertain times in my life, I was connected to employment support and housing resources that helped me regain stability. Opportunities like that do not happen by accident. They exist because someone works tirelessly behind the scenes to bring funding, structure, and real solutions to the table. She was one of those people. With more than 20 years of experience in nonprofit work, she understood how to navigate systems and create pathways for people who simply needed a fair chance. What made her different was not just her knowledge, but her heart. She believed people could rebuild. She believed stability was possible. And she helped make that belief a reality for many of us. She was also a businesswoman and creative entrepreneur, involved in real estate and jewelry design, which made her even more inspiring. She showed that you could succeed professionally while still being deeply committed to uplifting others. Some people may never fully know how much she contributed because much of her work happened quietly. But those of us whose lives were touched by her efforts will never forget. Her impact will continue to live on through the people she helped stand back up.

I absolutely love Saint Edmund Church. It's such a cozy and peaceful place to pray and worship…read more What I like most is that it's not too big and not too small--it feels just right. Everywhere you look, there's beautiful architecture and artwork, from the ceiling all the way down to the floor. I've passed by this church many times, but it wasn't until I was invited to attend that I realized what a hidden gem it truly is. The moment I stepped inside, I was amazed by its beauty and welcoming atmosphere. I honestly hope this parish continues to thrive for many years to come. My own church had to close because attendance became too low, so I know how important it is to support places like this. Saint Edmund is a special place, and it would be a shame to lose such a beautiful church and community. If you're visiting Oak Park, I highly recommend stopping by Saint Edmund Church. Whether you're coming to pray, admire the artwork, or simply enjoy a moment of peace, it's definitely worth a visit.

Yay! i'm number one, I'm number one!…read more First off, I've been going to Unitarian churches for about 15 years. It's my kind of place in general. If you are in between religions, or never had a religion and want some place to get your guided meditational/centered thoughts/sense of community/at peace with yourself fix, check it out. I highly recommend the book "Finding Your Religion" by Scotty McLennan. I've been a member at Third Unitarian for about two years now and have been going off and on for about five. This is one of the few churches where you can hear the pastor sing Lou Reed songs as part of his Sunday sermon, be encouraged to have an argument with the pastor, not feel outcast if you question the beliefs that you've been taught (this is encouraged), or get a full Earth, Wind, and Fire concert (Ba-di-yah, said do you remember! Ba-di-yah, dancing in September! I swear. People dancing in the aisles to "Sing a Song". It was awesome.) Aside from that, it is truly a warm place with funny, crazy, and loving people who work hard at making you feel welcome (but not that creepy welcome kind of thing. You know what I'm talking about.) If you are looking for a place to be able to embrace a wide diversity of beliefs, find your own set of beliefs, get involved in social action projects, or just drink coffee, eat cake, and chat with some amazing people who have lived truly historical and interesting lives, then Third Unitarian is your church. It is at the crossroads of two very different neighborhoods (Austin...not so affluent and Oak Park...much more affluent). The church has a rich civil rights history, hosting some great speakers, including Martin Luther King Jr. Speaking of diversity, everyone is welcome at TUC. It's a "welcoming congregation" which basically means that if you're LGBTQ (or if your hair is green or whatever) you're welcome there. It's definitely a "come as you are" kind of place, so don't feel the need to dress up when you come. Also, if you have kids and you want them to have a wide understanding of religion, I highly recommend TUC - the religious education program is comprehensive and pretty inclusive. I'll let others speak to that as I have no kids. Anyway, feel free to contact me if you have questions or you are thinking about going. It really is a great place.
