Planning notes
Chicago and its suburbs are home to a wide range of faith communities, from historic city parishes and suburban megachurches to Hindu temples, gurdwaras, mosques and synagogues. Many hold events that outgrow their usual seating: holiday services, festivals, anniversaries and community meals.
Every community has its own customs. Some gatherings use floor seating for worship and chairs only for elders or guests who need them. Others need long rows for an overflow service in a fellowship hall, or tables and chairs in a parking lot tent for a festival.
We'll ask how your space is used before we suggest anything, and we'll time deliveries around services and prayer times. If shoes come off in certain areas, or certain rooms are off limits, just tell us and we'll plan accordingly.
