Willow Creek celebrates Easter

As families around the suburbs prepared to celebrate Easter today, thousands of congregants at Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington started the holiday early with special services on Friday and Saturday.

Willow Creek, which has more than 20,000 members across six campuses, held Easter services throughout the weekend to accommodate its members.

Easter is one of the holiest days on the Christian calendar, celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ after his death on the cross.
