Mother's Day at WCR

May 10, 2026, 9:30 AM

To all the women who carry children in their hearts, arms, or dreams, we celebrate you this Mother's Day! Show the important women in your life just how much they mean to you by bringing them to WCR for a special day to honor them.

Before & after Bible Study and Worship, join us in the gym for:

Delicious treats for everyone to enjoy with that special lady in their life
Family photos taken by our photographer
Bouquet bar for women to craft their own bouquet to take home

Men, would you like to help serve the ladies of our church on Mother's Day? Sign up for a shift to help wrap flower bouquets.

Women's Spring Brunch

May 16, 2026, 10:00 AM

Ladies, join us for a joyful and refreshing morning at our Annual Women’s Spring Brunch! This event is open to all women in our community—from middle school age and up—and is designed to encourage connection, foster community, and inspire hearts through God’s Word. Whether you’ve been part of the women's ministry at WCR for years or are brand new, you are welcome here.

Enjoy a beautifully hosted brunch buffet and dessert, served with love by our Women’s Ministry Team. Come ready to meet new friends, laugh together, and be strengthened in your walk with Christ as we wrap up our ministry year and look ahead to our summer book club.

Guest Speaker: Erica Baldwin

Event Details:

Free to attend – but please register in advance so we can prepare accordingly.
Spring hats are encouraged (they add to the fun!) but totally optional.
Childcare is not provided.

Whether you come with friends or on your own, we believe God has something special for you at this event. Let this be a morning of refreshment, connection, and joy as we grow together in Christ.

We are looking for friendly, welcoming volunteers to serve at our main entrance on Tuesdays from 9AM–12PM. In this role, you’ll be the first face visitors see as they enter the building, offering a warm greeting and helping direct them to where they need to go.

This is a mostly seated position, though there may be times you’ll need to walk to different areas of the building to assist guests. If you enjoy connecting with people and creating a welcoming environment, this is a great opportunity to serve!

If you’re interested, please email Laura Jones at LJones@wakecrossroads.com

Support our Thailand Mission Team

Purchase supplies for our team and the missionaries they will serve alongside

You may not be able to travel overseas, but you can still make a meaningful gospel impact by supporting our Thailand Mission Team! This June, they’ll be hosting a kids camp in Bang-Pa-In, Thailand, and are in need of craft supplies to help make it a fun and impactful week for the children.

Use the links below to view and purchase items for the trip. The missionaries our team will be serving alongside have also shared a wish list of items they could use, along with a baby registry for one of the missionary couples who are expecting their baby in September.

If you choose to give, please keep in mind that all items must fit in a suitcase for travel. You may have items shipped directly to the church, or ship them to your home and drop them off at the table in the main lobby. If you decide to purchase or donate items without ordering from the wish list, please let us know so we can update the list accordingly.

Thank you for partnering with us to support what God is doing in Thailand!
