Advent is Upon Us
Advent is the sacred season of waiting for the coming of the Christ-child. Usually it is marked by hopeful and joyous anticipation and often filled with candle-light and carols. But this year, much feels different.
WPC has created an array of activities available during this Advent season. If you would like to attend any in-person events, we ask that you please RSVP through SignUpGenius. We will be practicing social distancing with a cap of 25 people as well as wearing masks. If you have any additional questions, please call the church office or email Ashley at .
Check back here each week for upcoming events throughout the Advent season!
