Just Christmas

We get so busy and involved in getting ready for Christmas that sometimes we do not notice those around us. This Chrismas season we have the opportunity to stop and prepare our hearts by engaging in our own community and let Christs love shine through.
You can make a difference this Christmas by doing one or all three of the following.
Buy new coats for kids - 35 local ministries have asked us to collect 17,000 new coats for kids 0-18.
Serve in our community - there are thousands of serving opportunity throughout the Chicagoland area.
Give to the year end fund - this fund provides the resources for initiatives Willow suports both locally and globally.
Don't let this season pass you by without the chance of serving others. Find out how God will shape your life.

Team World Vision changes lives.

Congratulations to Team World Vision which included our own community member Darren Niesley for running in the Chicago Marathon this past Oct. 11. They ran to raise money for African water projects and change the lives of many.

ALL IN! Oct 10-11

Willow Creek's use of tomatoes might change, but one thing stays the same—Willow's passion to remain an Acts 2 church.Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.—Acts 2:46

Don't miss a chance to share in some free food and fellowship with the entire Willow Creek family. Enjoy pizza after the 5:30 p.m. and 11:30 a.m. service or come early before the 9 a.m. for warm waffles, toppings, and sausage. You'll want to be All In! for this.
