Join us on Christmas Eve as we hear the story, sing our praises, and celebrate our Messiah’s birth. Through candles and hymns, stories and songs, we join together in community to worship Immanuel, God with us. Our services are at 4pm and 10pm with childcare provided at both.

With daily devotionals written by congregation members, our Advent Devotional Book is a wonderful way to keep our focus on Jesus this season. There are daily readings every weekday on verses that will lead us in to the following Sunday’s worship service. But we recognize that some people worship better through pictures than through words, so on Saturdays we have pictures for prayer ponderings created by Nicholas Markell (© 2012 Nicholas Markell | Eyekons). We hope and pray that these offerings will bless your Advent season.
This Saturday, Dec. 12, we gather for our annual All Church Progressive Dinner! At 6pm everyone meets at the Groody’s for appetizers and then heads out to your respective homes for dinner. When you signed up, we put you in dinner groups and your host(ess) should be contacting you soon to welcome you, give you directions, and tell you what to bring. Once our dinners are finished, we gather once again as a whole for desserts at Lundstedt’s. Read more
If you want a delicious dinner and entertaining Christmas concert, then this is your week. Our Fireside Dinner Fellowship gathers this Thursday at 6pm for their annual potluck Smorgasbord in the church fellowship hall. Once the meal is finished, we will head up to the sanctuary for a 7:30pm concert by singer/songwriter Will Kruger and mandolin player Mark Fowler. While the dinner is for those who are or would like to be part of our Seniors ministry, the concert is open to everyone! 
On Friday, Nov. 27 at 10am, we meet at Central Park in Grayslake for perhaps the most important event of the year: the 3rd Annual Turkey Bowl! Dressed for the elements, we gather, women and men, children and adults, young and old, to find out who has what it takes to be this year’s Turkey Bowl Champions. It’s flag football at its finest and there is no skill requirement at all. Seriously, you should see us play and you’ll know that skill is completely optional.
When we’re finished, we’ll be heading over to Scott and Teresa Anderson’s for a post Thanksgiving feast warm up celebration. Bring your leftovers ’cause this one is a potluck. If you’d rather skip the game and just head to the Anderson’s, the feast begins at noon.
Invite your friends, your family, your neighbors, and anyone else you can find and join us as we grow together!
