Every 3rd Monday of the month the guys pick a place to go out and eat. This is more than just a bunch of guys getting together and having fun, although that does happen. This is a time when men can invite their friends to meet other men in the church. It gives them a chance to get to know other guys who attend WCC, so that when the time comes that they decide to visit WCC, there are people they already know.
You can either meet us at the restaurant at 6:00 PM or at the church at 5:30 PM and carpool. The reservations will be under Williamsville Christian Church.

You hear the question thrown around today asking men, do you know what biblical manhood is? The struggle is, you cannot become what you cannot define. The enemy has very confusing definitions of what manhood is and honestly, our society is in a manhood fog. The better question to ask is, “What is the definition of what God’s Word says?”
Starting on Saturday, March 23rd we will be having a 5-week breakfast/Bible study answering the question about what God’s Word has to say. We will learn clear definitions of biblical masculinity and practical ways to make your marriage, parenting, work-life, relationship with God — everything — better.
Each week, we will cover different topics like unpacking your past and also define a man’s relationship with God’s Word (the Bible), God’s Woman, God’s World, and God’s Work (your job/vocation) Additionally, each week you’ll have group discussions with peers, led by seasoned Table Leaders.
Plan to join us Saturday, March 23rd from 8:00 – 9:00 am and feel free to invite a friend or two to come along with you.

Winter Wonderland Putt Putt
Bring the whole family to WCC on January 12th for our Winter Wonderland Putt-Putt from 6-8PM ! There will be candy & prizes for every hole and a hot chocolate bar!
Have you ever noticed how hectic it can get around the holidays? Trying to get to all the parties, find that special gift for that special someone, figure out whose house you are going to meet at and when and what food you are going to have, etc. I am not sure, but I think it has been hectic ever since that first Christmas Eve.
The thing is after all that planning and prep work things can still go wrong. Someone gets sick and can’t make it, there may be a family quarrel that happens, the Christmas tree catches on fire—you know—small things like that can happen.
This year Christmas Eve is on a Sunday, and I want to invite you to join us for a special Christmas Eve Service that evening at 6:00pm. With the help of our special in-house actors, we are going to take a look at how even in the hectic moments God can and will do amazing things!
I know it seems like it should not be that time of year, but it will be here before we know it. Please be praying for who you might invite to come with you and make plans to join us for one of the most hectic nights of your life!
