OCT. 17th ADULT BIBLE STUDY
Mark your calendars for a four-week study of the Book of Psalms. Adult Ed will be offering the “Office Hours” bible study. Watch the video at home (see below for links to the videos) and join us on the patio at 11:30 am (following Coffee Hour), weather permitting, for discussion. We will start the study on October 17th and continue through November 7th.
In July a team of 12 youth and adults road-tripped to Eastern Kentucky to partner with the Christian Appalachian Project (CAP). For the fourth year in a row, we spent the first week of summer bringing hope and help to those in desperate need. This year we re-shingled roofs and built porches to make their homes safer and dryer. It was a wonderful week hard work and heavy lifting, team bonding and faith abounding. We can’t wait to go back again next summer!
Current protocol requires that masks be worn in the sanctuary for the entire duration of the worship service.
The service will also be live-streamed on WPC’s Facebook page and will be available to watch at a later date on Youtube.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Janet’s memory to the Winchester Gardens Resident Association Scholarship Fund. Janet was actively involved in selecting scholarship winners each year.
