Taizé Service
Come and worship with us as we begin the season of Lent together with a Taizé
service on Ash Wednesday, February 17 at 6:30 pm in the Sanctuary. Simple songs,
candlelight, prayers, scripture and the imposition of ashes will offer us the
opportunity to reflect on the meaning and journey of the season. |

Imagine
a place where people from a rich variety of faith traditions, creeds, and
religions have found common ground and share with one another a supportive
community working to make a difference in the world. It is a place where you
will find a group of diverse people attempting to learn together and grow in a
faith that follows the way of Jesus Christ. You
will also discover at Winnetka Congregational Church that we have a very high
priority on engaging worship, transforming outreach, and the development and
growth of our children and youth.
If this is
the type of fellowship you have been looking for, we invite you
to join
us. We have a place for you and your family. We invite you to
spend time with us. Get to know us, explore our ministries with our
children and youth, fellowship with us, join in doing one of our many outreach
projects, and especially be with us in worship.
Welcome to the vibrant community that is
Winnetka Congregational Church
Are you looking for a church? We invite you to learn more.
