DEKALB

On October 17 & 18, Christ Community welcomes Cubs great Kerry Wood to weekend services as the 2026 Inspiring Stories interview guest. This special weekend will include three identical, in-person interviews with Kerry Wood at the St. Charles/South Elgin Campus and broadcast live to Christ Community campuses in Aurora, DeKalb, Huntley, Joliet, and Streamwood. He will share reflections on his incredible 14-year major league career, his recent outing with the Savannah Bananas, and the growing role of faith in his life since stepping off the diamond.

Inspiring Stories interviews are part of regular Christ Community Church weekend services, which are always open and free to all. There will be no autograph sessions or meet and greets.

November 6, 6:30pm

Come out for a beautiful evening to gather for worship and candle making as we slow down and make space for God's presence. Together, we'll create a candle as a reminder that Christ is our light and that his presence shines through us whenever he leads.

Each week includes a story, crafts, and meaningful time together as we build relationships and grow in faith. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with other families while your children enjoy time with their friends in a fun, nurturing environment. Storytime is designed for children 18 months–4 years old, but siblings are welcome to join the fun as well!

DATES: October 6, 13, 20, 27
TIME: 10-11am

It's a new tradition - one night, two seasons!

Students are assigned to a consistent small group and leader their first night, where they will be with the same students, organized by age & gender, each week. Friends and new students are always welcome. Most weeks consist of time for socializing, teaching, worship, small group discussions, games, and snacks.
