A Nomad no more

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
