Weekend News
Southwest Community Life Friends,
Looking for a place to make a difference in the life of a Willow family? Serving is a great way to be the hands and feet of Jesus to people in need. If you like working with your hands, there is an opportunity in Bartlett this Saturday. Below is a portion of a note from Anne Rand at Willow that describes the need.
On a beautiful day like today, it's hard to imagine people are still cleaning up from the devastating floods two weeks ago. But they are--and having had the opportunity to speak with one Willow family directly, I saw up close and personal how lost and overwhelmed they feel. The Bartlett family had 3 feet of water throughout their first floor destroying their kitchen, living room and all the appliances, furnace, etc. This Saturday, October 4 and possible additional days into the future, we could use people who are generally handy with installation of flooring, drywall and a host of other semi-skilled needs.

Click the link above to sign up for Saturday or come for part of the day. Those who can serve other days, email Eric who is organizing additional times.
Are you applying your INFLUENCE in the lives of others? A great place to begin is in the Atrium at Willow Creek South Barrington after weekend services. Stop by the Bartlett/South Elgin sign and connect with others from the community. Help yourself to free coffee and donuts. More people are coming each week and great conversations take place.

Lake Geneva Outing
About once a quarter, the ACTivity Group goes on an outing. This group is part of the South Elgin Gathering, and the activities are open to everyone. In June, the group went to a Kane County Cougars game. On August 24, after breakfast at Burnt Toast, the group went to Area Pastor LaVerne and Susan's Lake Geneva home for a brilliantly sunny afternoon of boating, tubing, picnicking, and chatting. Everything couldn't have been more perfect -- just ask Eric/Kristen (organizers), Kim, Mike/Matt, Donna, Jo, Nancy, and Romana. Thanks to LaVerne and Susan for their hospitality throughout the day. What a beautiful place to entertain folks in Christ's name!
