In the spring of 2020 when all churches went online, my husband Ken and I started watching a few different services. Ken always enjoyed Pastor Colin on the radio, so we started watching the Arlington Heights and Barrington services where we saw great teaching from the pastors. We sensed it was time to make a move to a more biblically centered church, so we started to consider The Orchard our new church. In the spring of 2021, Ken was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma and was advised by his doctors to stay away from crowds because he was on chemotherapy and immunocompromised. So, we continued to watch from home. During that time, my bible study sisters of 25 years had started to attend the Barrington campus. In July 2022 Ken lost his battle with cancer and I found myself in the predicament of not being a member of a church to hold his service. We hadn’t attended our previous church in 2 years and no longer felt part of that community.
