Hi Everyone--
We're looking to join or start an organic meeting in the Western Chicago Suburbs (Naperville-Lisle-Wheaton area). Please get in touch with me if you're interested.

Hello, fellow Illinoisans!

We live on Chicago's North Shore near Old Orchard Shopping Center and would love to develop an organic community in our area. Please let us know if you're interested!

Hello to all. It looks like no one has posted here in awhile! We're new, but are interested and joining a local organic church. Also willing to meet in our home in Plainfield. We're contacting others, and if you're interested feel free to contact us! We are sincerely seeking like-minded Christians for felllowship.

So far, we have not heard from anyone in the northern Chicago suburbs--please don't tell us nobody out there is interested! Given the popularity of Frank Viola's books (etc.), this is difficult to believe. Please let us know if you have or would like to start an organic group. We are working on getting our home ready so we can host one ourselves by this time in 2011.

Hello! We live in Cortland, Il (near Dekalb) and have been meeting for a few years and one of the brothers lives in Aurora. Just found out about this site, and the organic Illinois group page here, and was wondering if those who posted here earlier are still looking to join a group in Illinois. Naperville, Plainfield is not too far away, and one of the brothers who meets with us lives in the Aurora/Naperville area.

Hi Sandor!  Thanks for getting in touch.  I recognize your name from being friends with Brent on Facebook.  He and I met at a conference here in Naperville a couple of years ago and we've stayed in touch via FB since then.  My husband and I had been working with a church planter for a while, but didn't manage to achieve a critical mass within a reasonable distance by the time he felt called to another work.  We had started out with a 75 mile distance between the families farthest away from each other.  We multiplied into two groups, but we were still as far as 45 miles away from each other and it was just unsustainable.  So right now we're focusing on trying to make more personal connections in our community and see what doors God will open.  I'd be interested in hearing more about what's going on in your group.
