Grief Care for the Holidays – November 24: While grief can and does hit at any time, it can be even more prevalent during the holiday season, when everything in our culture says, “Be happy” and we feel the absence of loved ones most acutely. We are welcoming a grief counselor from Authoracare (formerly Hospice of Greensboro) to give us guidance in how to navigate these difficult times. Please register HERE for this session.

WCF Chicken Casserole Night – November 27: We need several more casseroles for dinner the day before Thanksgiving. If you are in town, please consider making a casserole. You can drop it off the Sunday before Thanksgiving! Please click here for details, recipe and to sign-up!

Women’s Christmas Dinner – December 8: Enjoy a very special night that ladies look forward to all year! As we press into our theme “Serve One Another” we will hear from a panel of leaders in our community (Dayna Carr, Mattie Neese and Debbie Galdo) on how the Lord has given them opportunities to serve. Dinner will be Bill Bishop’s famous smoked chicken along with some sides. Please invite a friend and bring your favorite dessert to share.
