Basket of Blessings

Presented on Sunday, July 12, 2026
at Holy Grounds

We are joyfully anticipating Rev. Olena “Lena” Withrow’s arrival at First Congo on July 1!

As Lena and her partner, Devin, settle into their new home in the Western Springs area, we’d love to surround them with a warm First Congo welcome.

Help us create a Basket of Blessings filled with special notes, favorite local treats, household essentials, gift cards, and other thoughtful items from businesses and restaurants in our community.

Donations may be dropped off in the Light Court from June 4–30. The basket will be presented to Lena and Devin following worship at Holy Grounds on Sunday, July 12.

If you have questions, please contact youthsearch@wscongo.org.

Thank you for helping us extend a heartfelt welcome to Lena and Devin!
