WCPC Hosanna Industries Work day!
|
|
|
|
|
Hosanna Industries is a faith-based, non-profit mission whose work involves a variety of charitable initiatives aimed at helping our disadvantaged neighbors through building and repairing homes for them.
We are looking for volunteers who are interested in helping one of those families on April 29th, 2023.
There is no expectation of construction or repair skills! If you can carry, clean, move, paint - you can be of service to your community.
The work day starts at approximately 9 am, and you are only expected to bring a pair of gloves, some water and a lunch!
Details for the location will come as we get closer to the work day - as Hosanna works through their job list.
Thank you!
Date: 04/29/2023 (Sat.)
Time: 9:00am - 2:00pm EDT
Location: TBD

Confession Banners Sewing Get Together
|
|

The Confession Banner project is in full swing and we are currently working on the hand stitching on each banner. If you are handy with a needle and thread and would like to join us, we need you!
We will be meeting March 19 after church in Fellowship Hall. If you can stay for 15 minutes or and hour, we can use your help. And, its fun creating these works of art! No need to bring anything but yourself - we have all the supplies. Hope to see you!

Going back to our earliest days, Presbyterians in our country collected an equal contribution from each member to help the church accomplish its regional and national work. They believed this to be both equitable and biblical. That pattern of asking all members to contribute equally to the church’s work, both near and far, continues to this day.
WCPC’s per capita assessment for 2023 is $35.70 per member, and we will remit that amount to the Pittsburgh Presbytery over the course of the calendar year. Please consider helping us with that commitment by including an extra $35.70 per member in your next offering envelope or online contribution. Thank you!

WCC Anniversary is coming!
|
|
|
|
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Wexford Children's Center. Established in 1972 as a drop-in day care facility for Wexford and surrounding communities, and then expanding to include a preschool program in 1992.
We plan on honoring the WCC in during worship on March 26, but in the mean time, we are gathering any stories from members who were impacted by the WCC.
So if you sent your kids to WCC, or if you attended yourself,
click here to send us an email about the role that WCC played in your story! And mark your calendars for March 26th!

Set up a time for Coffee with the Pastor!
|
|
|
|
Pre-pandemic, Tyler had regular "coffee hours" during the week to meet with members - and now it's back!
Before we set regular drop in hours, Tyler would love to take the time to meet with people more directly. Look at your calendar, and think of a time you'd like to get together. We can talk about whatever you'd like, just a chance to catch up, to share ideas about the church, to ask questions about the bible, or to talk about the latest movie you saw!
Email Tyler by clicking here to set up a coffee time.
Let him know whether you'd prefer:
a Zoom call,
a meeting at a coffee shop,
or a home visit :)

Deacon Help & Prayer Requests
|
|
|
|
|
The Deacons are here to help!
Are you in a Care Zone? Not know what a Care Zone is? Care Zones are our way at WCPC of making sure everyone is cared for and listened to. Our Deacons are a fantastic team. Care Zones are listed on your profile in Breeze, or you can click this link.
Deacons seek "compassion, witness, and service, sharing in the redeeming love of Jesus Christ for the poor, the hungry, the sick, the lost, the friendless, the oppressed, those burdened by unjust policies or structures, or anyone in distress" (Book of Order, G-2.0201).

Ways to Support the Ministry of WCPC
|
|
|
|
WCPC continues to minister to this congregation and surrounding community in ways that are new and different. We are committed to offering uninterrupted ministry, including in-person and/or online worship services to meet the needs of our faith community in a safe and caring manner. 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!
If you are unable to attend an in-person worship service, our online giving option allows you to set the amount & frequency of your offering, designate specific funds (General Fund, Fan the Flame, Missions), and use credit/debit card or PayPal. Online donations are automatically included in your giving statement. You can also mail checks to the church office (10645 Perry Hwy, Wexford, PA, 15090).
Thank you so much for your continued partnership and support of what God is doing through WCPC!

Please email the short blurb to our church office no later than Thursdays at 9 AM.
We cannot assure that any requests after this time will make it into the weekly email, but it will be considered for the following week.
