2026-2027 Quiet Time Journals

Order by August 9

WCR wants to offer a family-based discipleship program to assist families in having quality time in God's word together each day.

The Word of Life Quiet Time devotional guides believers in developing the habit of listening to God through daily Bible reading and application, as well as talking with God in prayer. The Quiet Time follows a 3-year reading plan that features every genre of Scripture, all the historical Bible books, and the entire New Testament. Our church will work through our Quiet Time Journals following the school program year from August through the end of July.

Olympians and Gopher Buddies children will receive their quiet time free of charge at Open House on September 2.

Parenting Milestones: K-3rd Grade

August 16, 2026, 9:45 AM

Parenting is a sacred calling, and each stage of a child’s life brings new joys—and new challenges. Parenting Milestones is a new series of gatherings designed to encourage and equip parents as they guide their children through key transitions in their spiritual walk with the Lord.

Each session will focus on a specific age or stage. We'll explore practical strategies, offer biblical encouragement, and provide space for conversation, connection, and prayer with other parents in the same season.

This session is tailored to parents who will have children in K-3rd grade this school year. Children will attend WCR Kids during this parent info session.

Let’s walk this parenting road together—one milestone at a time.
