Virtual Candlelight Service 12/24
(with live ZOOM Candlelighting at 9pm)


We will be having our Christmas Eve service in the style of prerecorded worship services we have been doing for the better part of a year.  We have been working really hard on it, and it will include many faces in the WCPC family helping us celebrate the new born king together!  As we do each year, the worship service will conclude with candlelighting and the singing of Silent Night.  We are excited to share it with you and hope it will be a central part of your Christmas celebration. 

In addition to the video, which will be posted this evening, we have sent out packages to all the households in the church with a candlelight to use in the service.  It is battery powered, so you can keep it around throughout the Christmas season! 

Lastly, as an added Christmas bonus, we will be having a brief Candlelighting Zoom call at 9pm.  We will light the advent candles together, and have the chance to worship briefly together in real time. 

Here is the Zoom info for this meeting:

Christmas Morning Coffee!
12/25 at 10:30am


We As this is such a new experience this year, we are mindful that many of you are spending Christmas alone, or separated from loved ones in ways that you hadn't anticipated as a result of the pandemic.  We wanted to take a moment to share time together on Christmas, even if it is virtual. 

For those who are interested, we will be having a quick Zoom call from 10:30am to 11am to wish each other Merry Christmas and share some Christmas cheer.

Ways to Support the Ministry of WCPC

Financial Contributions - Welcome to Columbus United Methodist Church

In this time of social distancing, WCPC continues to minister to the congregation and surrounding community in ways that are new and different.  

We are committed to continuing to support our church staff financially during this time not only to allow uninterrupted ministry, but also to better position them to be ready to resume in-person worship services and programs as soon as it is safe and appropriate. The ongoing financial support of the members and friends of this congregation is vital to sustaining this ministry and providing care not only now, but also in the future.  Please help us to keep this ministry alive and vibrant! 

You can set the amount & frequency, designate to specific funds (General Fund, Fan the Flame, Missions), and use credit/debit card or PayPal. Online donations are automatically included in your giving statement.
[CLICK THE BLUE BUTTON BELOW TO GIVE ONLINE]

If you prefer to give through checks rather than online, checks can still be mailed to the church office (10645 Perry Hwy, Wexford, PA, 15090) as we still have folks checking the mail and making deposits each week.

Thank you so much for your continued partnership and support of what God is doing through WCPC

Past shows include:
The Theology of the Enneagram
The Theology of Armistice Day
The Theology of Anger
The Theology of Black Panther
The Theology of Hamilton

and many, many more!

We hope during this time of social distancing that this is one more way that you can connect with and think about God in your daily routine.
