Pastoral Care Requests, Meeting with Ministers and Building Hours

If you have a pastoral care update or a request for tangible support, please email Rev. Jack directly (revjack@wbuuc.org) or fill out this form: https://bit.ly/wbuucpc


We would be honored to name your joy or sorrow or life event during our Sunday morning meditation so that our community can know about your concern and hold it with you. As the Swedish proverb goes, “Shared joy is double joy; shared sorrow is half sorrow.” 


Meeting with Ministers

Rev. Jessica and Rev. Jack invite you to contact them directly with questions or to make an appointment for an in-person or Zoom meeting. We concentrate most of our appointments Tuesday - Thursday, but we can also make other times available as needed. 


Building Hours

The church building and office are open between the hours of 10am-4pm on Tuesday-Thursday. If you need to get into the building on a Monday or Friday, please contact the office to schedule that appointment.
