WEDNESDAY NIGHTS
What are Wednesday Nights at Village?
On Wednesday nights, we’re not Village Church of Gurnee.
We are Village Church FOR Gurnee! Wednesday Nights at Village are for our community - for people young and old…and anywhere in between.
WHY? It’s simple, God loves our community and so, we do too.
Look below at what is offered and invite a friend. If you are interested in serving or have questions, contact Pastor Brandon - brandon.smith@vcgurnee.org or x181.

Outreach Prayer Gathering
1st Wednesdays
October 7
November 4
December 2
6:30-8:00pmDo you have a heart for seeing people experience God’s love through all we say and do? Each month, we’ll gather to pray very specifically for people who aren’t yet Christians...even as we pray that God would give us a greater burden for spiritually-lost people. We’ll also pray for our community, our global outreach partners, and more! No registration necessary; just show up!

Outreach for Ordinary People
2nd Wednesdays
October 14
November 11
December 9
6:30-8:00pm
$10/person (class materials)This once-a-month group will take a highly-relational, highly-practical approach to helping you “be God’s strategy” in sharing Jesus with the people you know. We’ll be blessed to learn from Wayne & Ollie Okamoto’s decades of experience in sharing the gospel with people, and equipping others to do the same. Evangelism isn’t just for a select group of super-Christians...it’s for every Christian, and it’s for everyday Christians!
