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!
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.

Please sign up in the Lobby, if you plan to attend as we want to make sure that enough food is ordered for the evening.
Our potluck this year will be Nov. 19, at Noon. The menu for the day is; Turkey, ham, cranberry sauce, rolls, green beans, dressing, mashed potatoes & gravy, dessert, coffee, lemonade & water. As always the church will be providing the mashed potatoes, gravy, and drinks. At the beginning of November we’ll have a sign up sheet in the lobby and Scarlett will start making phones calls to people for help with providing the rest of the menu.
