Next is Now
Series & Groups

Time and time again, God instructs His people to remember what He has done. Why? Because we are quick to forget! As we approach our 50th anniversary as a church, we’ll journey through the book of Joshua and remember His faithfulness as we step into what He has in store for us.

What’s next for Willow starts now—and you have a part to play!

On the Weekend

September 28–November 6

We’ll gather each Sunday to dive into Joshua, share stories of our past and future, and worship God together! 

  • September 28 | “God’s Faithfulness from the Wilderness to the Promise”
  • October 5 | “Faith over Fear: Rahab’s Yes to God Changed Everything”
  • October 11 & 12 | “Don’t Forget What God Has Done” & 50th Anniversary Celebration at Willow South Barrington
  • October 19 | “Victory Comes Through Surrender | Jericho and the God Who Breaks Barriers”
  • October 26 | “God Still Does the Impossible”
  • November 2 | “Breaking the Cycle: Justice, Mercy, and the Mission of the Church”
  • November 9 | “Choosing to Serve God in Every Season”
