Celebration of Hope 2016

My favorite time of year at Willow Creek is the 3 week period of Celebration of Hope held every spring.  During these weeks we focus on social justice for the most marginalized.  There are guest speakers, booths in the lobby of organizations around the world doing good to help those in need, a 5K for refugees, and SEED PACKING!!!

Melissa and Elias came in town specifically for COH and Shannon joined us.  We packed seeds for 2 hours to help the church reach their goal of 1 million seed packs (each pack hold 5 bags of various vegetable seeds). This year the stakes were raised and we were to pack all 1 million seed packs in 3 days!


 Elias loved the frogs, fish and chickens in the lobby booths. Mel, Shannon and I LOVED hearing Christine Caine speak.
We had a great time the rest of the weekend as well. E and I loved the condo rooftop on this sunny weekend!


 And who doesn't love the swings at Oz Park!
Come back soon Mel and E!!!
