A Reflective Advent – Monday, December 4

We are joining some other Wake County congregations in offering a gathering called “A Reflective Advent”. Good Shepherd United Church of Christ (1050 NW Maynard Rd, Cary, NC) will host this space in conjunction with Community UCC, Covenant Christian, Hillyer Christian, St. Paul’s Christian, and Wendell Christian. The service will begin at 7 PM on Monday, December 4th. We gather for a special worship service to acknowledge that not everything is cheery and bright during the Advent & Christmas season. If the holiday season brings waves of grief or spouts of seasonal depression, or if you are looking for a space to lament the violence and suffering in our world, we hope you will join us for this special service. This service will be in-person and virtual via Zoom and childcare will be provided. We have, in Christ, a resilient hope! Click here for more information on Facebook.

Martha’s Compassion Box

The CACS Committee sponsors WCC’s Martha’s Compassion Box. This is a “take what you need and leave what you can” compassion box for community residents. The box will house books for both children and adults, toiletries, and nonperishable food items. Individuals are welcome to contribute. Unfortunately, more has been taken lately than has been left. We still have an adequate supply of powdered milk and applesauce but are very low on other items. Please contribute what you can but NO perishables. 

Welcome Back, Children!

WCC is welcoming back our children. Each Sunday we will have someone go back with the children after the children’s sermon. They will enjoy a story from their Spark Story Bible that aligns with the morning message. We would love to see your children. We have a sign-up sheet on the sanctuary piano for those willing to spend some time on a Sunday with our children. If you would like to find out more about our fall plans, please contact Summer Smith, Melanie Pepon, or Tammy Fuller.

Children’s Bible Story Videos

The Education Committee will present Bible Story videos to share with the community.  We would love to have some guest readers so our children can feel connected to our entire community.  Please get in touch with Tammy Fuller if you would be willing to read a story for our children.  (No worries if you don’t know how to create one, our team will help you with that!)
