Willow Creek to Host Best-Selling Author, Mitch Albom, Nov 4-5

This weekend, Willow Creek Community Church hosts Mitch Albom, best-selling author (Tuesdays With Morrie, The Five People You Meet in Heaven and The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto) and one of America's most renowned sports columnists. He’s captured thousands of game-changing moments in his career, some of which he will share in a compelling interview with Teaching Pastor Steve Carter during services (5:30 p.m. on Saturday, 9 and 11:15 a.m. on Sunday).

"As a journalist and author, Mitch Albom has seen and met hundreds of athletes and influential people," says Carter. "But the thing that inspires me most is the way he shifted his life to be a game changer. He has devoted himself to helping others—whether in Detroit, where he lives today, or in the wake of natural disasters in Haiti and the Philippines."

Following services (5:30 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. on Sunday), Mitch will take part in a book signing in Willow Creek’s Main Lobby. Tuesdays with Morrie will be available in Willow Creek’s on-campus bookstore, Seeds.
