We live in a complex world, full of both huge issues that need to be solved as well as incredible moments of beauty, goodness and transcendence to experience. We believe in diving into all of it. So along with Sunday worship we also regularly host everything from concerts and art shows to lectures by a wide-range of smart and thoughtful guests. Here are a few things going on right now.
We are an Open House – open to all! When we come together to worship at Winnetka Congregational Church, whether we’re all physically present at our church on Pine Street or on various screens from wherever we find ourselves, we do so to connect more deeply with each other, with God, and to what God is doing in our lives and in our world. We are worshipping in our sanctuary, wearing masks as per the…
Our beautiful tree will be decorated with hundreds of lights, we will offer a Ben & Jerry’s hot chocolate bar to keep you warm, and sing carols to herald the season. Join us! All are welcome – bring a friend or neighbor!

You might even call…
Join the men of our church for a gathering to reflect and share what the Advent seasons means to you. This event will be hybrid – in person and on Zoom. Advent is a good time to pause, reflect, and open up to God’s coming (“advent”) in Christ. For some, this time of year can also be difficult due to recent losses or other reasons. The Gathering includes silence, meditative singing (or just listening!), hearing…
Our 106th Annual Christmas Pageant will be held during worship on Sunday, December 12. This traditional event features the youth of our congregation portraying the story of Jesus’ birth.
Women of Winnetka Congregational Church and Friends, You are invited to join us in person or online.
