Ash Wednesday begins the 40 days that lead up to Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter. It’s a day that reminds us of our great need for a great savior…and the start of a season filled with reflection, repentance, and renewal. Services are identical and around 30 minutes in length. Kids are welcome.

Mark your calendars for our next member meeting on February 23. 
Here’s a list of topics you can look forward to: 

● Ministry updates 
● Financial update
● Welcome new members
● Assessment update 
● Q&A 
● Open House after meeting 

If there is a question or a topic you wish to be on the agenda, email the elders by February 15 (elders1@vcgurnee.org) so we can be prepared to respond or, time permitting, add an item to the agenda. Members are encouraged to attend, everyone is welcome. Childcare is available, register on Realm.

Have you been attending Village for a while but haven't formally committed? Join us for our next membership class! Our hope is that you'd attend the 9:00am service and then come to the class at 10:45am. This class is a great way to learn more about Village and what makes us tick. You'll also get to meet some pastors and elders, explore questions you may have, and consider committing to our church family. Registration is required— sign up on Realm.

GriefShare has friendly, caring groups for people going through one of life’s most difficult experiences. You don’t have to go through the grieving process alone. Click below for more info or to register for upcoming Loss of Spouse and GriefShare groups.

We are excited and can’t wait to start out the New Year with Jesus, fun, and the outdoors. Register on Realm.

We are launching into a new adventure at Village Church and it’s called…
Wednesday Nights at Village!

On Wednesday nights we’re not Village Church OF Gurnee…we are Village Church FOR Gurnee. This is a night with an outreach focused on our community…for all ages.

It’s simple, God loves our community and so, we do too.

Click the button below for more details on all the opportunities happening this fall and links to register. Invite a friend and sign up to come or serve.

Wednesdays, January 7-March 18
6:30-8:00pm
Kids 4 years - 5th grade
$30/kid or $60/family max 

Registration is now open for the winter session of our midweek kids program, Kids JAM! We’re praying that this time helps kids discover the JOY of following Jesus together AND live with a MISSION mindset - overflowing from knowing him into every place God calls them.

2nd Saturdays
8:00am-4:00pm in the Gym 

Bring your sewing projects and other crafts, and work on your projects while building friendships! We will meet in the church gym on the second Saturday. Come when you can, leave when you must. This is open to people in the church and the community, so bring a friend!

Questions? Contact Brandon (brandon.smith@vcgurnee.org or x181).

If you are a homeschooling family in need of a Christ-centered, strong community of like-minded people, join us at HomeGrown, a co-op at Village Church. We will meet Monday afternoons starting September 15.
