For the last few months I've been kind of nomadic in terms of church attendance. But last Sunday I visited the Wheaton Bible Church (W Chicago/Carol Stream area) and really enjoyed it. They are a very outreach-oriented church, externally focused. I hope to begin volunteering with some of their outreach ministries in the next month or so. They have a neat outreach program in a nearby apartment complex, near Routes 59 and 64, that is home to many immigrant families. They have ESL classes, after-school programs and tutoring for the kids. They have changed the whole atmosphere of the low-income apartment complex over the past 3 years, when it began. A large decrease in crime and police activity.
I honestly felt at home here. A great place to plug into. After one last Sunday service at Willow Creek in 2 days, I'll begin attending WBC regularly beginning the following week. One exception is I'll still attend at Willow Creek Chicago once a month, as I don't want to give up the ministry going on there. I'll update as more things progress
