There’s so much to do in our neck of the Old Northwest Territory! Here’s a sampling of some upcoming events.

Country Church/City Church

Organized religion played a major role in the settling of Illinois and continues to influence the culture of our region. We enjoy highlighting places of worship, one in the country and one in the city, in each issue.

Through the Glass, Brightly

Light is symbolic in many ways, yet it takes on a new significance in our houses of worship. Explore the stories behind and inside the stained glass in our area churches.
