(1888PressRelease) April 26, 2017 - Tim Williams, the incoming Chair of the Union County Interfaith Coordinating Council, an organization comprising more than 40 interfaith congregations and community-based nonprofits, spearheaded by Community Access Unlimited (CAU), was a guest on WFME 1560-AM radio.

Williams spoke with host, Jay Trelease, about CAU's second annual Faith in Action networking event where representatives from various faith-based organizations will be present to help Union County residents determine which house of worship they would like join. Community members throughout Union County, who are looking for a faith community, will "speed date" with various faith-based organizations.

Last year 92 CAU members met with 43 representatives of 19 houses of worship. Of those 92, 50 made connections with one of the organizations.

According to Williams, "There are a lot of people looking for more than just a place to worship. Faith into Action is a networking opportunity where different houses of worship will be available to speak to residents. You can come to the event and ask any questions you may have."

Williams continues, " It is a wonderful experience, all the denominations here offer a truly welcoming environment. You can come out and find a comfortable place to worship with friendly people."

Faith in Action, will be held Wednesday, April 26, at Suburban Golf Club at 1730 Morris Avenue in Union from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. To register for the event, call 908.354.3040, ext. 4324, or email UCInterfaith ( @ ) caunj dot org dot
