the roundup

Tonight!
Join us for dinner at 5:45 p.m. We're serving up hot dogs / chili dogs. And then at 6:30 p.m. all of our youth programs will start, as well as our men's group. And you won't even have to battle the snow!

Teen Winter Retreat
This Friday we're sending 24 teens and 6 sponsors to Camp Barakel for a winter retreat. Please pray for their safety, but also that God would use this opportunity to really impact kids spiritually.

New Springfield
Every third Saturday we partner with New Springfield Church in Pontiac to help distribute food to those who are struggling. It's an easy way to "love your neighbor." We believe that church should be more than Sunday, more than what happens inside our walls, and more than just huddling up. We are committed to making a difference in our community. We will be missing several of our regular participants this Saturday - if you would like to give it a try, we could use your help. Let us know!

Ladies' Bible study
Our winter / spring session got off to a great start yesterday! We're doing the study "God of Freedom," (by Jen Wilkins) which looks at the 2nd half of the book of Exodus. Books cost $22 (or less). Childcare is available, but please let us know. If you have questions or need childcare, please contact Dianne Workman (dianneworkman@comcast.net).

Band of Brothers Breakfast
Our men's ministry will be hosting a breakfast on Saturday, February 4. If you missed the last breakfast in November, it was really good - so you need to give this a try. Breakfast burritos and spiritual conversations are on the menu.

Connection Café
If you are new or newer to WCC, we'd love to have you join us for a continental breakfast on Sunday, February 5. We'll give you the inside scoop on things going on here, as well as introduce you to some people who are good to know - and who might just become good friends. It starts at 10:00 a.m. Let us know if you are interested.

If you are married ...
... your marriage could be better (no matter how good you think it is). We are planning to offer a new session of re|engage starting in February (that will run through May). If you are married and have never participated in this program, we would strongly encourage you to do so! Need some convincing? Just ask anyone you know who has participated! If you are interested or would like more info, please let us know!

Souper Sunday!
 It's a traditional favorite, and we'll be celebrating it again this year.  Bring your best soup on Sunday, February 12, and we'll stick around after church to enjoy it
