The doctors have decided against a second surgery for the moment and she needs visitors to help move her IV poll so she can walk to help her body move things naturally into a better healing state. You can connect with Becky to check on the visitation schedule she is running, or you may simply pop into Peace Arch Hospital and ask to see Naomi at the front desk. ❤️ --- **Volunteer Scheduling** As we adjust to two Sunday services, Deanna has updated her scheduling process. Volunteer schedules are now being prepared two weeks in advance instead of in 3 month blocks, and we’ll continue with this rhythm for the time being. **Please pay close attention to the times listed in your scheduling requests.** Although the plan is titled *“x2 Services,”* not all volunteer roles require serving at both services. Be sure to check your assigned time so you know when you're scheduled to serve. **Sign-Up Feature** When someone declines a scheduled position, the Sign-Up feature will automatically send an email to the appropriate team, letting them know that a spot is available. If you click the sign-up link in the email and no positions are available, it simply means another teammate has already filled the spot. **Please make a habit of checking these emails!** It's a great way to help fill gaps in the schedule and helps our schedulers a lot. Thank you for your flexibility and patience as we settle into this new routine! --- ![](https://churchusercontent.com/8eecc158-32ce-4be9-84d4-9c7a967d78dd/Arri_and_Eero_2026-10-08T03-39-30-329Z.jpeg?w=1400) We have a lovely new family who has recently chosen to make WRCC their church home! Elycia and Eric, along with big brother Arri, welcomed their new baby boy, Eero, into the world on September 20! We can’t wait to meet him! We pray for restorative rest, peaceful days of settling in, and many sweet moments together as they adjust to life as a family of four. What a blessing — **welcome, baby Eero**! --- ![](https://churchusercontent.com/8eecc158-32ce-4be9-84d4-9c7a967d78dd/Christmas_Tree_Building_Volunteers_2_2026-10-08T16-55-03-606Z.png?w=1400) --- [![](https://churchusercontent.com/8eecc158-32ce-4be9-84d4-9c7a967d78dd/Church_Prayers_Slide_19_2026-10-08T16-31-29-613Z.png?w=1400)](https://www.actioninternational.org/fw/cecilia-huezo) [Cecilia Huezo](https://www.actioninternational.org/fw/cecilia-huezo) [**Church Calendar**](https://wrcconline.churchcenter.com/calendar?view=gallery) --- [![](https://churchusercontent.com/8eecc158-32ce-4be9-84d4-9c7a967d78dd/Planning_Center_Sign-ups_2026-10-01T21-09-54-572Z.png?w=1400)](https://wrcconline.churchcenter.com/) --- [![STEM Club](https://churchusercontent.com/8eecc158-32ce-4be9-84d4-9c7a967d78dd/pco-imports/2026-10-08T03-23-58-188Z-a7a590b6-7edb-47c3-bb1f-7aa0ded8c63c-card-0.jpg?crop=16:9&w=600)](https://wrcconline.churchcenter.com/calendar/event/232325040) Oct 13, 3:30pm STEM Club Our Fall session is 13 class and will run from Sept 15 - Dec 8.
