Land Acknowledgment 2023
Missions Spotlight 

In 2021, First Congregational Church of La Grange received a request to adopt a land acknowledgment, which was taken on faithfully by the Ministry of Missions. We then spent months researching land acknowledgments and the richly complex history of the Indigenous people who have made Illinois their home for over eleven thousand years. We are grateful to Joseph Standing Bear Schranz of Midwest SOARRING Foundation who guided us in our research and for the invaluable help of Dr. Stephanie McCullough throughout our process. 

In January 2023, the congregation voted to adopt the Land Acknowledgment as presented.
