You can help to show support and encouragement to our WCPC college students as they finish up their school year and head into finals.

How can you do this?
Send them a college care package!
 

A sign up sheet will be available in the fellowship hall after the church services on Sunday, April 3rd and Sunday, April 10th.

Address labels, boxes, notecards and suggested items to include in the box will be provided. All you will need to do is sign up on Sunday, buy items to fill the box and take it to the post office with your postage by April 22nd.

Personal care items are a necessity, and can be an expense that many low-income families cannot afford. NHCO collects these items and gives them to families and individuals who use their food pantries.
 
We will be collecting the items below until April 17 (Easter Sunday). You can shop for the items in person and drop them off in the basket near the bulletin board at the sanctuary entrance, or shop for items online and they'll be delivered directly to NHCO through their Amazon Wishlist.
Suggested Items include:

• Disposable Razors
• Chapstick
• Dental Floss
• Shaving Cream
• Toothpaste
• Toothbrushes
• Shampoo
• Conditioner
• Wash Cloth or Loofa
• Deodorant
• Body Lotion
• Bar of Soap (unscented)
• Shower Gel (unscented)

DURING LENT, WE CELEBRATE THAT GOD CONNECTS WITH US THROUGH JESUS’ RESURRECTION AND CONNECTS US WITH “THOSE WHO HAVE LEAST” — and that’s what One Great Hour of Sharing is all about. People who experience oppression, need, loss, or lack, those are the people Jesus connected with, the Bible says, and they are the people we are invited to connect with today.

One Great Hour of Sharing is the single, largest way that Presbyterians come together every year to work for a better world. Each gift to One Great Hour of Sharing helps improve the lives of the suffering and the vulnerable through three life-saving programs

PRESBYTERIAN DISASTER ASSISTANCE
Restore Streets to Live In

PRESBYTERIAN HUNGER PROGRAM
Share your Bread with the Hungry

SELF-DEVELOPMENT OF PEOPLE
Loose the Bonds of Injustice

Ways to Give:

Dear Wexford CPC Members,

I pray you are enjoying Holy Week and are preparing for the celebration of Christ’s resurrection on Sunday.

I am writing to prepare the congregation’s hearts and minds for Nomination season to the Board of Session and Board of Deacons at WCPC. It is the time of year when we ask our active members to consider a call from God to service and leadership for our congregation, in the form of ordination and installation of Elders and Deacons. This is an essential function of our congregation, to care for our congregation spiritually and relationally (the Deacons), and to act and rule with guidance from the Holy Spirit (the Elders). These roles ensure the longevity of a healthy, caring, and Christ-centered congregation at WCPC and we hope that you will consider a role if called.

If you have been looking for a way to utilize your God-given gifts and talents in the church, this may be a great opportunity! Please pray and discern about a call to these leadership opportunities.

You may receive an email from me (Rachel Stalker) later this month, regarding a call to ministry in one of these roles. I ask that you receive this message with grace and truly discern a call to these positions. If this message calls you to service, please feel free to reach out!

In Christ,

Rachel Stalker

Chair of Nominating and Personnel 

Isabella Love and John Mazza invite you to share
in the ceremony uniting them in marriage here at WCPC.
There will be no Reception.

The support with your presence and prayer
is your gift, nothing else.
