GROW


There will be no Kingdom Kids or

JC Crew this week so the kids can enjoy

trick or treating around the supper tables.



Complimentary copies of the November/December Upper Room Devotional Guides are available in the elevator lobby. Regular and large print.

SERVE

Operation Christmas Child delivers great joy and the Good News of Jesus Christ to children in need around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes. Each box packed full of quality toys, school supplies, and personal care items becomes a tangible expression of God's immense love for the child. For many, it is their first gift ever! We will have a special blessing over the filled boxes on November 16. For more info, contact Eddie Lanier.

Thank you for your continued support

of this ministry of WPFUMC!


We served 55 people

last Thursday (October 23)

at Soup Kitchen!


If you would like to serve with one of our Soup Kitchen Teams contact the church office, or Helen here.


Serve with our Children & Youth!

In the UMC Baptismal Covenant, we are challenged to nurture our kids and students in the life of the Church and the Christian faith. Studies show it takes at least 5 adults beyond their parents to help nurture young people into a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ.

Be a part of passing down faith to the

next generation by serving with Children or Youth on Sundays and Wednesdays.

Call the church office or see Pastor Ed to volunteer!

Love boldly

Serve joyously

Lead courageously

~From a new vision of the United Methodist Church


The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.
