• Discover inspiring Bible stories
• Learn how God’s peace includes everyone
• Practice kindness, courage, and compassion
• Create crafts, play games, and enjoy hands-on activities
From God’s promise of peace to sharing it in the world, your child will learn that peace isn’t just something we talk about — it’s something we live!

Fantasy Football League registration
2026-07-28 - 2026-09-01 | IL
Now thru 9/1
This fall, Union Church Fantasy Football is back!
If this is your first time, you may be asking: What makes this league different from any other league? Instead of a ‘buy-in,’ when you sign up for this league you are committing to hosting (or co-hosting) at least one Monday Night Football game for the other players in the league. How you host is up to you. You can go all in and host it at your home with made-from-scratch tailgate fare, or you can just pick the bar everyone meets at. You can even host it at the church and order pizzas if you want!
We’re going to shoot for 12-team leagues (pending how many people sign up).
If you’re interested, please sign up here no later than Tuesday September 1st.
The drafts for all leagues (done online, but gathering in person is encouraged) will take place at 7:30 pm on Tuesday September 8th.
