Worthington Christian Church

Hunger Bowl

Our goal is to pack over 250,000 meals in five separate one-hour sessions in the Youth Center on Sunday, February 8. To do this, we need 160 volunteers per hour on Super Bowl Sunday morning!

WHY DO WE DO IT:

Each meal packed will be shipped globally and/or locally by Lifeline Christian Mission to children and families affected by hunger and malnutrition.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

The work is fairly simple and easy, making it a great service opportunity for Elementary-age children, teenagers and/or adults.

Meal packing times are 8:00, ~~9:00~~, ~~10:30~~, ~~11:30~~ AM, and 12:30 PM. Gloves and hairnets are required and provided.

PLEASE NOTE: Our 9:00, 10:30, and 11:30 AM meal times are full, but we have plenty of space in our 8:00 AM and 12:30 PM meal pack times!

8:00 AM | ~~9:00 AM~~ | ~~10:30 AM~~ | ~~11:30 AM~~ | 12:30 PM

VBS Volunteer Registration

Vacation Bible School volunteer registration has begun!

This year's VBS is Monday, July 6 to Friday, July 10 and our theme is 'Rainforest Falls.' Our goal is for every child who attends VBS to have a positive, meaningful experience that lasts a lifetime—and we can't do that without YOU!

It doesn't matter if you've never volunteered for VBS, or you're a seasoned VBS leader, your time and talents are needed. With enough volunteers, we hope to offer an AM service this year!

Volunteer today!

Rescheduled — Kids Ministry: Mid-Year Volunteer Gathering

If you're interested in joining the Kids Ministry Team and making an eternal impact on the next generation, join us at the Mid-Year Volunteer Gathering on Sunday, February 1, from 11:45 AM to 2:00 PM.

We will meet for lunch after the 10:30 service in the Kids Worship Room where we will reflect on the wins in Kids Ministry. We'll also review what’s ahead in 2026.

It will be an important time of encouragement and vision for 2026. Please let us know if you plan on coming!

Flashlight Tag!

We have two great nights of Flashlight Tag planned in February!

Family Flashlight Scavenger Hunt (K-3rd Grade): Join us for a fun, new twist on our traditional Flashlight Tag on Friday, Feb. 20 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Kids in grades K-3rd grade will become kid-tectives, and their families will help them as they solve puzzles and hunt for clues in the dark, which reveals Jesus’ mission!

Kids and families will get to work together to solve an encrypted message, scavenge in the dark for missing items, and complete the mission report.

Flashlight Tag (4th & 5th Grade): Are your kids ready for a FUN FRIDAY to run around and burn off some extra energy? Kids Ministry invites our 4th and 5th-graders to join us on Friday, February 27 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM for a night of playing Flashlight Tag. We’ll eat some pizza, play a few rounds of Flashlight Tag, and play other games.

Bring your flashlight and a friend to the Kids Worship Center! This event is FREE, but we need to know how many to expect. Please RSVP.

WCC Moms: Training for What Matters

Join our moms group as we meet monthly to build a community rooted in Christ’s love!

"Training For What Matters" will be a fun evening for all mamas on Wednesday, February 18, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM.

Ladies, put on your sneakers for ten Olympic-inspired stations full of fun, laughter, and encouragement. We’ll also pause for a short devotion on how God trains our hearts in the everyday moments of motherhood.

All mamas are welcome (pregnant ladies through moms of 5th graders). We generally meet on the third Wednesday of each month in the Youth Center from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Childcare will be provided.

Volunteers Needed: Worthington Christian Village

The Worthington Christian Village is currently seeking volunteer(s) to deliver our Daily Packets on Wednesday mornings.

Deliveries are made to the 6th and 7th floors and typically take about an hour—unless, of course, a bit of extra chatting is desired! Many volunteers enjoy spending additional time visiting with residents, and this role offers a wonderful opportunity to get to know those living on the Assisted Living (6th floor) and Healthcare (7th floor) floors.

NOTE: Consider bringing a friend and inviting them to join the team. Together, we are all a part of Kingdom Impact!

While we understand that schedule changes can happen, consistency is especially appreciated in this role.

Questions? Please contact Rene Lanam.
