WC Kids

We believe fostering a personal faith in Jesus Christ in children is one of the most important parts of being a community church. There are many available ministries created for each and every age group, from nursery to sixth grade.
"Our mission in WCKids is to intentionally seek ways to partner with parents to help facilitate this journey.”

    Third Grade Bible Presentation
    Studying Scripture is one of the most important ways we learn about God. White’s Chapel presents Bibles to third grade students as a statement of their growing faith development. We celebrate this rite of passage each year with the prayer that this will be a starting point for a deeper relationship and an enhanced study of God’s word.

    This year, third graders will attend two classes on how to read and study their Bible. The classes will be on September 12 & 19 during the 9:30 a.m.  and 11 a.m. services. You may choose which time work bests for your family.

    Third graders will be presented their Bibles on Sunday, September 26. The Bible presentation will be at 9:30 a.m. and they will also be recognized at 11 a.m. in the sanctuary.
    ​
    In order to receive a Bible, parents must register their student by September 19.

    “Finding My Way Home: Pathways to Life and The Spirit”
    Tuesdays, Oct. 5 – Nov. 2 | 10 a.m. | Center for Spiritual Care
    The Ministry for Families with Special Needs invites you to participate in a book study by author Henri Nouwen titled, “Finding My Way Home: Pathways to Life and The Spirit.” Nouwen reflects on navigating our way through life in a way that encourages us toward true peace. He helps us reframe our strengths and weaknesses, suffering and loss, and our successes and failures as opportunities for experiencing God’s love, connecting with others, and realizing our place in a community that is greater than ourselves. Nouwen’s reflections are inspired by his experience living in L’Arche Daybreak Community and caring for people with disabilities, and in particular, his relationship with Adam, who has a severe and profound disability.

    This book study will meet for five weeks beginning on Tuesday, Oct. 5, and will conclude on Tuesday, Nov. 2. The book is available at most booksellers. This study will be led by Rev. Lori Silvestri. Registration is required. For more information, please contact Silvestri.
