Senior Services Info Session February 18
WCUCC is hosting two speakers addressing ways to access community-based resources and services that promote independence, safety, and general wellness. Joining us will be Karen Lewis, Westerville Community Service Coordinator, and Amy Kotterman, United Church Homes representative for Naviguide. Even if support services are not needed now, this is a great educational opportunity for our older adults and members with older parents still living independently.
Presentations will be approximately 30 minutes. The meeting will be held in the sanctuary from 11:30 - 12:30, and a lunch will be provided.

Last of Winter Carnival
Our Last of Winter Carnival is a few weeks away! We'll bring winter to an end, and the Fellowship Hall will be transformed into a winter wonderland, complete with the Snowflake Café serving ice cream sundaes, a Hot Chocolate Bar, a Cookie Decorating Station, and winter-themed “homemade” carnival games with prizes. Game tickets are 25 cents or five for a dollar. Parish Life provides the prizes for you “game-makers,” and you create the games. If game-making is not for you, please sign up to operate a game. We’ll have a children’s costume parade at 3 p.m. Bring winter to an end in a big WCUCC way! Questions? Contact s Jim Waldsmith or any Parish Life Board member.
