Smith Physical Therapy + Crystal Lake

Age Strong is a small-group class focused on building the essential strength needed for common daily activities that can start to feel challenging over time. Tasks such as emptying the dishwasher, carrying laundry upstairs, getting up from a chair, unloading groceries from the car, or playing with grandchildren on the floor, are addressed during the class. Through targeted, functional exercises, Age Strong helps you rebuild the muscle strength, endurance, and mobility that support these real-world tasks.&nbsp;
This class takes place in the Balance Center at Smith Physical Therapy+ and is led by Jennifer Myatt. Each session emphasizes proper form, joint protection, and safe progression, ensuring that you’re not just getting stronger, you’re learning how to move better.

Illinois Humanities presents an Illinois Road Scholar Event featuring Iman Snobar. Bridgeview, Illinois—home to the largest Palestinian population in the US—stands as a vibrant center of diasporic life and memory.

Each portrait is accompanied by a brief caption capturing memories, aspirations, and reflections on home, displacement, and belonging.

Please join us for the 415 Amateur Radio Club 2026 Field Day between Saturday, June 27th at 1pm and Sunday, June 28th at 1pm at 3208 Bay Road in Crystal Lake, IL. All are welcome, and admission is free! The purpose of ARRL Field Day is to practice emergency communication skills, promote amateur radio to the public, and have fun making contacts with other stations across North America. It's a nationwide event where hams set up temporary stations—often outdoors—and operate under simulated emergency conditions to test their readiness and equipment. We will have multiple stations on the air, including a GOTA station. A GOTA (Get On The Air) station is a special part of Field Day designed to let newcomers and inactive hams get on the radio with the guidance of an experienced operator. Whether you're licensed or not, you can sit down, talk on the air, and experience the excitement of ham radio in a fun, supervised setting. For more information or to sign up to operate, go to our website below or scan the QR code above. Please forward and share with all groups. We look forward to seeing you!415 Field Day website [<a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.the415arc.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExeDNWb21jYmRSNjNoN25qcXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR5FIdmmQsuHlr2G55a5ftdDMeijgvYPQgxgwo16zUWQwwP1dFIEgGttDgqkQQ_aem_hVeCd3rdX5blBiCdY-komw&amp;h=AUBVMELutZHCTAm09uX1i0bPnMMBoWjGDsBUnXwCsG1okaekfHyQ5M_eyZzDGgjrf8VqrrcbfLUlbinmE4we0bsjorKPkW2a2PWXqn783iUJ9Dj1lcWNxrDhsyD-XLb_02KOgdD2tze0LHXn&amp;__tn__=-UK-R&amp;c[0]=AUDWXhcgKBFPE8_6NKT-fgLR1y8F9QX2TaM5mhmQi-tTiR3R-L_GRMd-R5l2gVJ4TXDObNAUwkvfauK2YEfI9Pkd2hoP-r3MZygKCp-PCsUcCAYxHuBGjU9xOV1Iv-m-kBulgrAT07VRFZuEUgypELgxJtNiKlaDPciUIVQchqF85nKSOF48lvChbj_wfuifUlnl2udrHzjBvJ4YCiKBF0tmy_MhPrRmfnM" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www.the415arc.com</a>](<a href="https://www.the415arc.com/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExeDNWb21jYmRSNjNoN25qcXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR7GTkOf3uMqi3KXpasXynOGtmFZUg-YxSiVEgoToxjnl7i9yZ5JJ2Wpd8A3OA_aem_xPRn0irkzpjpygOknHAGHQ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://www.the415arc.com/...</a> <img src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ui=2&amp;ik=e52e1cd7ab&amp;attid=0.1&amp;permmsgid=msg-f:1868339804394170338&amp;th=19edad2738a327e2&amp;view=fimg&amp;fur=ip&amp;permmsgid=msg-f:1868339804394170338&amp;sz=s0-l75-ft&amp;attbid=ANGjdJ9Z4iMH5VNtUKfMtx7CLuYMWCgKRXNYjHDzqvsHS3fnmEfgHXP2s2yUTr5YJ7H9xr-Q_FJ6_zRLf8zRvQYGaMb3a9gAPTgDoMntBQPAb9F65IsbRNKybSt_B4s&amp;disp=emb&amp;realattid=ii_mqjiddt90&amp;zw" alt="JOIN-US-FD-2026.jpg">

Faithfully preaching the good news that is Jesus Christ

Crystal Lake Christian Church

Crystal Lake Christian Church is a church family that loves God and shows that love with reverence and awe; we are all sinners saved by His grace and we love one another through bearing one another’s burdens in prayer and fellowship. We praise the Lord with a mixture of contemporary and traditional music without the circus; it’s not a concert; it’s worship of the living God. We emphasize the fact that it is not the quality of our singing but instead the quality of our heart condition before God that matters most; He is worthy of our praise. We partake of the Lord’s Supper every Sunday. We do so in remembrance of what Jesus, the Lamb of God, achieved at Calvary for a fallen world in need of salvation and a Savior; in need of atonement. We baptize by immersion upon request and view this as the first step of obedience by an individual who has already made a faith commitment and cried out to God for salvation. The words spoken from God’s pulpit are anchored exclusively in the scriptures and, while occasionally topical, we do not view the gospel as a self-improvement program. The gospel message communicates the truth about God’s love, righteousness, holiness and judgement while emphasizing our need to repent of our transgressions before Him.
