Wild Church

Six Events

Join us for brief outdoor worship encounters as an extension of our 5-week creation series. “Wild Church” refers to a Trinity Wilmette gathering in a municipal park or forest preserve. “Pop-Up worship” is an informal time for prayer and singing, about 30 minutes.  After each pop-up worship, optional activities will be offered, such as a short hike, lawn games, beach clean-up, and paddling.  No RSVP needed.  The event is canceled if it rains. Bring your own lawn chair or request one from Pastor Brian (pastorbrian@trinitywilmette.org) at least 24 hours in advance.
