Description

Grown Folks Stories: 10 Year Anniversary Edition at The First Presbyterian Church of Chicago! This month, we're taking you to church! The First Presbyterian Church of Chicago is hosting Grown Folks Stories from 6-9pm, on Thursday, December 16th. "A PRESBYTERIAN FAMILY OF FAITH IN THE HEART OF WOODLAWN" MULTIRACIAL, MULTICULTURAL, MULTIGENERATIONAL FAMILY OF FAITH “Multi” means you will never be asked to blend in. All are welcome to celebrate all the particularities that make you who you are. We all come with many identities, backgrounds, and beliefs, and none of it is left at the door. We expect you to believe what’s in your conscience, to love whom you love, and to reflect the image of God as only you can in your own unique way. Since The First Presbyterian Church of Chicago was organized in the carpentry shop of Fort Dearborn in 1833, they have been devoted to racial justice, education for youth and children, the arts, and organizing for the welfare of the community. That rich heritage still shapes their sense of purpose as a church in and for the community, and it's why they are our next Pop Up GFS location. ALL STORIES ARE WELCOME. Don't hold back because we're in a church! There's more too... It's our 10 year Anniversary!!! As a special treat, Cara Brigandi is coming back as guest host for the evening, you won't wanna miss out. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grown Folks Stories is two hours of five minute stories that range from the hilarious to the absolutely somber. Join this ever-popular gathering of nonprofessional, unrehearsed storytellers, who give us the real stories we live everyday. There is no theme, no judging, no poetry, no readings. EVERY THIRD THURSDAY OF THE MONTH! Created by Cara Brigandi and Eric Williams, Founder of the Silverroom, and hosted by Whitney Capps. View LIVE on our Youtube Channel, Facebook Live & Twitch!
