We look forward to seeing everyone Sunday morning at 8:30am. Lon Allison will speak during the month of September. Lon currently serves as the Executive Director of the Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College and brings a lot of passion and energy when he teaches. Marie works hard Sunday mornings welcoming people. She heads up WBC's Evangelism and Connect Ministries, huge focuses for our church. They have so much to share around Evangelism and they are really excited to be with us. Please come ready to be challenged......the Allison's will be bringing it.
Also, this Sunday everybody is welcome to meet at Portillo's (on North Avenue) following the 9:45am service. This a great time of food and fellowship. The Bears game(unless you are actually going) is not an excuse not to come. Put it in your DVR and watch it when you get home.
If you haven't brought treats for Sunday am in a while, we are looking to fill up October on. Click here to sign up.
