Church visits (Chicagoland)

I had the opportunity to visit 2 church services last Sunday. The first was a satellite extension of megachurch Willow Creek at South Lake. Worship, welcome and communion was live, but the sermon was livestreamed from their main campus at South Barrington (as they are going through a series on Philippians).

The other was a homey small church near TEDS called Village Church of Lincolnshire (VCL), part of the EFCA denomination. The long-serving pastor of 20+ years there (40 years overall in pastoral ministry) is Ps Lee Eclov, who sadly, I heard, was retiring next February.More on both churches soon.
