PLEASE MOVE FORWARD We encourage you to move a row or two forward. This helps the congregational experience in many ways.
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. A separate labeled basket is available each week to receive Our Daily Change offerings.
DAILY CHANGE 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. 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.
