Kenilworth Union Church has long supported impactful outreach work across Greater Chicago. One of these remains our Centennial Scholar Fund, initiated the year of Kenilworth Union’s centennial celebration in 1992 when a group of families pooled their financial contributions to being funding of local seminary students focused on urban ministry in our city’s most challenged areas. Presently, we are providing scholarship assistance to four seminary scholars at various Chicago-area seminaries.
In conjunction with the Adult Education Committee, the Centennial Scholar Committee encourages you to join us Monday, April 25 at 7 p.m. in the Culbertson Room, or livestream, as two of our scholars talk about their studies, their work, and how the Church’s scholarship made a difference.
