Sign Ups + Links

WPC’s Sponsor-A-Family program needs your help supporting families this Christmas. Sign up this Sunday, Dec. 7, to shop for a Salem Elementary family. For St. Stephens and Guadalupe families, we’re collecting Kroger or Walmart gift cards through Dec. 14, along with household items for Guadalupe. Visit Fellowship Hall after worship to sign up or drop off donations. All gifts and gift cards will be collected after the 10AM service on Dec. 14. Thank you for blessing these families with your generosity!

Each year, our youth participate in several life-changing trips, such as our Presbytery Youth Retreat, our annual Ski Trip, and the Summer Mission Trip. This year, we are planning a meaningful and beautiful Summer Mission Trip to Ghost Ranch, New Mexico. Ghost Ranch is a renowned Presbyterian Camp and Conference Center, made famous by the painter Georgia O'Keeffe, but we need your help to make this exciting trip a reality!

You can participate by picking up an envelope from downstairs in Fellowship Hall for the first three weeks of Advent. Each of our beautifully hand-decorated envelopes is numbered 1 through 100, and we invite you to donate the dollar amount corresponding to the number on the envelope via cash, check, or through Engage.

We want the entire church to be able to help support us, so whether you fill the #2 envelope with a $2 bill or want to go big with the #100 envelope, we are thankful for your support!

Your generous donation will be split equally to maximize our impact, with 50% going to help our current youth attend the Ghost Ranch Summer Mission Trip while the other 50% will go into our Youth Scholarship Fund, ensuring that all youth can participate in our retreats, trips, and events throughout the year, regardless of financial barriers.

Thank you for supporting the youth of our church this Advent Season and helping them reach their goals!

Kindway jewelry will be for sale in Fellowship Hall following the 10AM service. Stop by our tables to get more information on these ministries. 

The WPC tradition of expressing our appreciation and gratitude to our staff through a special offering at Christmastime has begun.

This offering will be distributed equitably to the staff before Christmas. Please note that your contribution is a direct gift to the staff, thus your contributions to this offering are not tax deductible. God bless you and Merry Christmas.
