Do Hard Things - Book

Written by two, twin 19 year olds, you can learn so much from the book - "Do Hard Things" by Alex & Brett Harris

"rebelution" - is probably a new word to you, it is a combination of rebellion and revolution to form an entirely new word for an entirely new concept: rebelling against rebellion. More precisely defined rebelution is "a rebellion against low expectations" especially in teenagers.

One Hour a Week!

Have you ever longed to serve the community locally? This Fall Willow Creek is partnering with Kids Hope USA. Kids Hope is an award winning national mentoring program that works exclusively through local churches, teaching them to engage their members in one-on-one relationships with at-risk public elementary school children.

Our hope is that Kid's Hope that will train and develop mentors to build into the lives of vulnerable students. Then we hope to have mentoring partnerships with schools in Cary, Fox River Grove. The commitment for a mentor after our Willow Creek/Kids Hope training is to give one hour a week (before school, during the school lunch hour or after school) to one child. School personnel consistently report that many children involved with a Kids Hope trained mentor exhibit significant change in academic performance, attitude, attendance and behavior. Check out this video:



So, if you have the desire to make a huge difference in the life of an at-risk child, come to our mentor training at Willow Creek on Saturday, October 16th from 8:00-11:00AM. Registration is through classes. Go to https://classes.willowcreek.org/default.aspx?page=3258&profile=3672&eventid=3672&pageid=3240&sort=Date&pprofile=102

Join a Men's Breakfast

This month we’re learning from the strength given to Samson. He came into the world under unique conditions, was committed by his parents to be set apart for God, and lived a life that exposed his strengths and his weakness. Look at how God uses both, for His purposes.

Truth Quest Event - Comparing World Religions

TruthQuest apologetics event is this month on Friday, July 30th at 7:30pm.
Hosted in Room 392 which is above the West entrance above the Harvest food court area.

Dr. Harold Netland from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School is our special guest this quarter and will address and compare key doctrinal issues from four major worldviews. This will be an excellent event both for people interested in checking out the claims of Christianity and for Christians to become better equipped.

I had Dr. Netland as a teacher at Trinity and absolutely loved his book "Dissonant Voices." An excellent book comparing world religions.
