This Week at WCR

Wednesday Night Equip

Sep 9, 6:30pm

Wednesday Night Equip is restarting for the fall, and it's an evening designed for the whole family! While kids dive into Olympians and students engage in Student Worship, adults can deepen their faith through our Equip Class. Everything happens at the same time, making it easy for everyone to connect, learn, and grow together. We can't wait to see you there!

Time of Prayer

Sep 6, 8:45am

We're starting a new weekly rhythm of praying together before Sunday worship. All ages are invited to join us in the Prayer Room from 8:45-9:15AM each Sunday as we pray for our church, our community, and the worship service ahead.

Women of the Word Bible Study: Daniel

Sep 8, 9:30am

If I step out in faith, will God follow through?

We’ve all faced seasons of life where the future seems so unknown. We don’t understand how God’s plan for our life is going to unfold, and oftentimes it’s difficult to have faith in His goodness. Just like us, Daniel experienced these same emotions.

As we journey through Daniel: Holding Firm in the Face of Fear, we’ll gain encouragement from Daniel’s example and learn how to trust in God’s plan during times of difficulty and times of abundance.

God demonstrated His faithfulness to Daniel and the Israelites over and over again. As we walk through Daniel’s story, we’ll be overwhelmed with the hope that pushes us to step out in faith, and trust in the perfect God ... no matter how uncertain our future seems.

Our first meeting will be on Tuesday, September 8, due to the Labor Day holiday, but all future meetings will be weekly on Mondays at 9:30AM.
Meeting Dates: Sept 8, Sept 14, Sept 21, Sept 28, Oct 5, Oct 12, and Oct 19

Books can be purchased from Kathy McFarland for $5.

Lunch cost: $4.50

Upcoming Events

WCR Students Wiffle Ball Night

Sep 11, 7pm

Step up to the plate! ⚾
Students and guests are invited to join us in the ROC for a night of indoor Wiffle Ball. Big swings, questionable pitches, and plenty of fun will be had by all. We’ll bring the snacks and the competition - you just bring yourself and a friend! No gloves are necessary but pit viper sunglasses are optional. Don’t strike out on this one!

Day of Service: Harris Creek Elementary

Sep 12, 9am-12pm

Harris Creek Elementary has asked for our help in beautifying their campus!

We are in need of many volunteers to help spread mulch and do basic landscaping. We will also have volunteers from the school (staff, parents, students, etc) working alongside us, so this is a great opportunity to get to know our neighbors!

If you have machinery and tools to help with this task it would be much appreciated! Please let us know during registration, or reach out to Johnny Cooper with any questions.

WCR Women: Connect Kick-Off!

Sep 13, 6pm

Join us as we launch a new ministry year at WCR Women Connect! We’ll unveil our 2026-2027 ministry theme and cast vision for how we’ll glorify God by making disciples who worship Him, connect with one another, and reach our community.

At this special gathering you’ll:

Meet and mingle with women across generations as we pursue Titus 2 mentoring relationships and grow together in Christ.
Learn simple ways to get plugged in—whether that’s joining a small group, attending an event, connecting with a Shepherd Sister in our mentoring program, or serving on our volunteer teams.
Hear quick spotlights from our fall small group leaders so you can find a study that fits your season.

Come expectant, bring a friend, and take your next step with WCR Women this fall!

Childcare is available by registration only.
