The Dundee Crown Area is joining with Willow Creek McHenry County Campus for a special class. This will be a gathering of people who want to grow and discover more about God and ourselves in community. We would like to invite you to - Responding to God in your Story, lead by our very own Jenn Mote and Rebecca Madden from Dundee Crown.
This is a hybrid class/group that will help us learn to listen to our own life story as well as to the story of others and then connect it to God’s story. This offering will be a time of teaching, listening, sharing and discussion that will help us apply what we learn together.
Dates: Sundays afternoon/evenings - 4:15pm-5:30pm - Nov. 2, 9, 16

I’ve been attending Willow Creek for over 20 years and I have to say that the 5 times I’ve gone with my kids have been some of the most deeply meaningful and wonderfully fun things that I have ever done at Willow. Camp Paradise truly is a can’t-miss event! Next summer I’m going up 3 times with both my daughters and my son. Click here for more information and 2009 dates.
Registration opens at noon on November 12. Please be aware that registration fills very quickly so I highly recommend that you register within the first week. If you’re interested in sharing a cabin with other dads from the Dundee Crown area, let me know what session you’re planning on attending and I’ll do my best to connect you.
