This is pure unadultrated B.S. ! If anyone needs proof, go to Willowcreeks website & you can see ALL the services from Summer ’09 are archived.

Wow, incredibly irresponsible journalism. I understand that this is satire, but there has got to be a better way to make your point than misuse the name of a church, it’s members and it’s leaders like this.

One of the main goals of the church is probably conserving what little money they have during these hard times. This may be one big reasons they are closing for the summer.

Ya…I’ve gone to Willow since I was in kindergarten and this NEVER HAPPENED. In fact, this summer had a special program called Summer At The Creek where besides having normal Saturday and Sunday services, they also had Wednesday services and weeknight classes. You can check their website. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
The quote is inaccurate too. If you are in Junior High than you can choose to go too Elevate (elev8.com) the extremely fun and exciting Junior HIgh ministry. And we don’t have pews or hymnals.
And lastly, whenever Bill goes to somewhere other than Wisconsin, it’s for evangelical or social justice work. Which, judging by your website, is more than I can say for you.

And to all you Creekers; remember:
Haters gonna Hate
But we forgive them

CUZ THATS WHAT CHRISTIANS DO!

I have no idea where you got the information that Willow Creek was shutting down for the summer. i have been going to mid-week services and week-end services ALL SUMMER long, just like I have for the last 20 summers. Where in the world did you get this mis-information???
My husband and I have been members of Willow Creek for 20 years and the church has NEVER shut down. Believe me, because we’ve been there!

I agree 100% with Holly – the story is 100% Bulls**t !! To prove it, go onto Willowcreek’s website. At the top of the homepage on the right side, you’ll click ‘media player’. Check out their archive Hybels preached on 28-June-09, and came back from hiatus 12-Sept-09. The Church was open and had guest speakers or our Teaching Pastor, Darren on every week-end. Now that I have proven this site is not credible, I’m wondering what their REAL purpose is (?).

This is a date to be recorded in history. That the enemy has blinded this Pastor into justifying an act that is so horrible and a tragedy to his church. The bible tell us that believer are to fellowship with one another. So I guess his members are out of luck until after labor day. I thank God I’m not a member of this apparently fallen church. May God be merciful to this leader that’s lost his way.
