Help Us Welcome Our New Members!


We look forward to welcoming several new members during our worship service this Sunday, December 10! Because the annual congregational meeting will take place shortly after worship concludes, we have little time for a proper post-church fellowship time. Therefore, the Board of Outreach & Welcome is changing things up and hosting a pre-worship welcome reception! Join us in Fellowship Hall at 9:30 am and meet our newest members. Enjoy coffee and breakfast treats as we extend a warm welcome to some wonderful people who now call WCUCC home.

Christmas Pageant December 9


Join us for one of our favorite WCUCC traditions - the annual Christmas Pageant! Our amazing children and youth are staging an original production, written and directed by our own Scott Bantum entitled A Suessical, Scroogical, Magical Christmas. They, along with our children's choirs, will perform in our sanctuary on Saturday, December 9 at 7 pm. You don't want to miss this!

Congregational Meeting December 10


All members are invited to attend our Congregational Meeting after worship on December 10. The meeting will be held in the sanctuary and online. Click here for the agenda.

Thank You!


The Board of Missions is overwhelmed with appreciation for how members responded with such giving hearts, as they fulfilled every item on the Community for New Direction families’ wish lists this year! May your spirit be fed by the joy you bring to others this season!
