Spring Study – Psalms and the life of David

Next Session March 16  |  9:30 – 11:00 am  |  Home of Deb Nawrocki

When you are struggling, you have a choice to walk with God . . . or let the darkness envelop you. It is not always easy, but God’s Word captures this struggle perfectly in the Psalms. Although they are often known for their passages of praise, the Psalms are also full of lament.

This study is about that in-between space―walking from the lament into the praise. Full of encouragement and reassurance that we will see God move, this study will help you to see the fuller picture and the light that we can turn toward in Christ.

We will be referencing the author David’s life and see how his story becomes evident in the Psalms.

Books are also available for purchase for those who can’t attend a group but want to study along.

Easter in Five: A Village Kids Family Experience

March 29  | 10:00 am – 12:00 pm |  Village Church of Bartlett

Come immerse yourselves in the hands-on experience of the last week of Jesus’ life. You’ll encounter the joy of Jesus riding into town as the long-awaited King. You’ll discover what the disciples must have felt as they watched events unfold from the Upper Room to the Garden of Gethsemane to Golgotha, and finally to the Empty Tomb. You’ll put yourself in Jesus’ shoes as He carried His own cross and experience the joy as King Jesus comes back to life! This is a self-paced and self-guided event, so come any time while the event is open. This is not a drop-off event, but an opportunity for adults to lead their children through the volunteer-managed stations together.

Lunch with the Pastor

First Sunday of Each Month  |  1:00 pm  |  Brunch Cafe, Roselle

One of our favorite ways to get to know someone new is at the “kitchen table!” The first Sunday of each month, Pastor Craig, his wife Beth, and a few members of our church go out to lunch after church with any visitors who are interested in learning more about Village Church East.
