Electronics Recycling
and Paper Shredding
Event
Saturday, September 19
10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.
150 S. Ashland Ave., La Grange
First Presbyterian Church Parking Lot
Enter from Ashland Ave., exit on Catherine Ave.
This free event will be managed by the Cook County Center for Hard to Recycle Materials (CHaRM for short). FPCLG is partnering with the La Grange Rotary Club and also Community Assisted Rides (CARS) to support this event.
Electronics and small appliances: computers, computer accessories, gaming devices, televisions, mobile devices, printers, air conditioners, microwaves, small kitchen appliances, etc. Anything with a plug or battery that can fit in the trunk of a car. CHaRM disposes of these sustainably through certified recycling partners. Since these devices contain toxic metals like lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic, they are banned from landfills and need to be recycled.
Paper shredding: Household documents (limit 2 bags per car). Staples and plastic covers are okay, but no binder clips. On‑site document destruction ensures your confidential materials are shredded securely. All shredded paper is recycled, which saves trees and reduces methane emissions from landfills.
Community Concert Series
All are invited to monthly weeknight concerts held on the third Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. in the excellent acoustics of our Sanctuary. There is no admission charge.

Fareed Haque
Steeped in classical and jazz traditions, Fareed’s unique command of the guitar and different musical styles inspire his musical ventures with tradition and fearless innovation.
Born in 1963 to a Pakistani father and Chilean mother, Fareed’s extensive travels and especially long stays in Spain, France, Iran, Pakistan and Chile exposed him to different kinds of music from a very early age. While this natural eclecticism has become a hallmark of Haque’s music, it was repeated visits to Von Freeman’s Chicago jam sessions that gave Haque a grounding in the Chicago blues and jazz traditions.
You can read more about Fareed’s musical background, experiences and accomplishments at fareed.com.
Spirits and Spirituality
Looking for good conversation, great people and a relaxed way to connect with your community? Join us for Spirits and Spirituality, a casual gathering on the second Tuesday of each month at Barrel House Social, 100 W. Burlington Ave. in La Grange.
Enjoy drink specials and appetizers beginning at 5:30 p.m. before we settle in for conversation at 6:00 p.m.
Each month, we’ll discuss current topics, share different perspectives and explore where faith, life and the world around us intersect. There’s no lecture, no pressure and no expectation that everyone agrees. Just thoughtful discussion, plenty of laughs and the opportunity to connect with some genuinely welcoming people.
Whether you’re a member of First Presbyterian Church of La Grange, new to the area, curious about faith or simply looking for meaningful conversation, you’re invited. Come grab a drink, pull up a chair and join us for an evening of community, connection and conversation.
Next Gathering: Tuesday, October 13
Partnership with Living Waters for the World
First Presbyterian Church of La Grange currently has covenants with six partner communities in El Salvador. We have been supporting El Espino with upgrades that allow their water team to produce much more clean water that the community desperately needs. We sent a team to El Paraíso in 2022, to San Cristóbal in 2023, to San Rafael Cedros in 2024, to Mercedes Umaña in 2025 and to Potrero Grande in 2026 to aid in the construction of water purification systems with accompanying public health education for their communities. We hope to sign our seventh covenant and return to El Salvador in 2027.
Contact the Church Office at admin@fpclg.org to find out how to get involved!
