HOW MANY CAN WE REACH?
The Streamwood Campus is excited to be in the midst of a campus initiative called Reaching Your Neighbor. It's sole purpose is to bring the love of Jesus into every corner of our community.
Here’s how it works: We all interact with people every day. People who live on your street. People you see at work. People you talk to at school. And many of them have never heard the name of Jesus spoken in love. We encourage you to reach out to them in some way. Maybe it’s sharing your story. Maybe it’s inviting them to a service or special event. We aren’t giving you a script; we want you to make an authentic connection and have a real conversation.
Every time you do, you’re going to add a sticker to a map in our Lobby. Let’s see how many people we can reach with the love of Jesus this year!

COLLECTION WEEKEND OCTOBER 11
Canning Hunger is more than a food drive--it's an initiative with a double impact!
Here's how it works: Knock on the doors of ten neighbors and invite them to donate non-perishable food or household essentials for a local food pantry. Not only will we help those facing food insecurity, it will also open the doors to meaningful conversations with your neighbors!
Materials are available in the Lobby beginning September 27. Bring your collections to the drive-thru drop-off during weekend service on October 11.

WEEKEND SERVICES WITH KID K
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.

SHARE YOUR FAVORITE THINGS
Women are invited to the Streamwood Campus on Saturday, October 3, 11am-1pm, for a fun morning of creativity, connection, and giving!
