Join us for our Springbrook Concert of Prayer!
A concert of prayer is an extended, intentional, united and sustained commitment to call upon God in prayer. The concert of prayer centers on worship, sharing and prayer and is normally broken down into segments.
The segments usually include various formats of prayer, scripture reading and testimonies, with one or more leaders introducing the segments and formats.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the church office at (224) 569-3300, and we hope to have you with us!

![Baby Bottle Campaign @ Springbrook Community Church](https://springbrook.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/baby-bottle-graphic-1-300x169.png)
“Sanctity of life” reflects the belief that because people are made in God’s image, human life has an inherently sacred attribute that should be protected and always respected. God gave humanity the authority to kill and eat other forms of life, but the taking of human life is expressly forbidden.
When someone is faced with making decisions about an unplanned pregnancy or has already made a decision about a pregnancy, they may wonder about what types of information and resources are available or they may need someone to talk with.
Springbrook partners with Informed Choices Pregnancy and Parenting to help those with questions about pregnancy, pregnancy choices, what to expect, and how to find answers. Informed Choices is a strategic ministry partner for Springbrook, and if you are interested in helping us support them, pick up a baby bottle in the lobby this Sunday.
If you would like more information about Informed Choices or would like to support them directly, visit Informedchoices.org
Baby Bottle Campaign:
1. Pick up a baby bottle after the service on Sunday, January 21 – Sunday, February 11
2. Take the bottle home and fill it with loose change, dollar bills or checks.
3. Return the bottle to Springbrook by Sunday, February 11.
