WELCOME VISITORS If you are worshiping here for the first time today, welcome! We are glad to have you with us. Please fill out a visitor information card, located on the right as you enter the chapel, and place it in the offering plate.
OFFERING Plates are just inside the doors to the chapel or scan the QR code on the back of this bulletin. Our gifts take many forms: open-hearted presence here, voices lifted in song, the prayers that rise in us, the material gifts we share with neighbors, and our willingness to live in a world as allies and advocates for those whose needs are overlooked. The monies we bring symbolize the offering of our lives in all circumstances.
Donations for “Daily Change” are collected at WWPC on the first Sunday of each month. Please place this offering in the Red Basket on the back table near the offering plates. On the first Sunday, Mason jar banks and prayer tents are available for you to take home and place on your dining table as a reminder of the spiritual practice of feeding the hungry. If you write a check for your donation, please write “Daily Change” on the memo line. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

JUST ONE CAN Will you help to feed your neighbors when you go to the grocery store? A new food drive has begun, and we are asking that every time you go to the store…you add “Just One Can” to donate to your neighbors in need. Bring it to the church on Sunday, or during the week following your shopping trip. Place it in the blue container that you’ll see when you walk in the entryway of the church. If we all add Just One Can per week, we can provide a steady flow of compassion and sustenance to those who need it most. Contact David Ball at Ittech.ball@gmail.com, or donnaeaglejoslin@gmail.com. THANK YOU!

Dinner will be served in hand-crafted ceramic bowls created by Warren Wilson students and faculty, and YES, you get to take your bowl home!
