Hunger Bowl is this Sunday!

Big THANKS to everyone who has signed up to volunteer! Thanks to you, each time slot is full! Each meal you pack will be shipped globally and/or locally by Lifeline Christian Mission to children and families affected by hunger and malnutrition.


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


If you signed up to volunteer this Sunday (and 800 of you did!), please try to arrive a few minutes early to gather with your team and learn where your stations are. If you have any questions, please contact the church office.

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!

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.

Looking for a Sunday morning Bible Study?

Join Truth Seekers every Sunday at 9:00 AM in Room 135.


We are a new group dedicated to seeking truth through the study of God’s Word, and everyone is welcome.


Beginning in March, we will be studying the life of Paul—his calling, ministry, and faith journey. We’d love for you to join us!


Questions? Please contact Jim Bradbury.

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.

Blood Drive on March 9

Our next Blood Drive is Monday, March 9, from Noon to 6:00 PM in the Youth Center.


Due to the severe winter weather, blood supplies are at an all-time low. If you are eligible to donate, please make an appointment today! Your donation of a single pint of blood could save up to THREE lives.


Help save a life -- make your appointment today!

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.
