A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for the Mimi Dixon Half-Day Retreat: *Walking with Jesus in Unexpected Places: Heartbreak & Hope*.

It was a beautiful and meaningful day together — filled with honest reflection, encouragement, worship, prayer, and reminders of God’s faithful presence even in life’s most difficult seasons. We are so grateful to Mimi Dixon for sharing so openly and thoughtfully, and to Carolyn Arends and Josiah Wall for leading us so beautifully in worship.

Thank you as well to all of the volunteers who helped prepare food, welcome guests, decorate, serve, clean up, and quietly care for countless details behind the scenes. Your generosity helped create a warm and restful space for everyone who attended.

We continue praying that the truths shared throughout the retreat would encourage hearts long after the day itself has ended, and that each person would keep walking closely with Jesus through both heartbreak and hope.

After about seven years of faithful ministry at WRCC, our Youth Pastor will be taking a sabbatical from June 15 – September 8 as he and his family embrace this special season of becoming new parents.

We are deeply thankful for the care, energy, and leadership he has poured into our youth and church community over the years. Sabbaticals provide an important opportunity for rest, renewal, and focused family time, and we would encourage our church family to lovingly support this by respecting his time away and allowing space for rest and connection with his growing family.

Please keep him, Martha, and baby Benjamin in your prayers during this meaningful season. We look forward to warmly welcoming him back in the fall.

Mystery Club: Investigating the Truth of Jesus

Get ready for an exciting week of discovery, creativity, and fun! At Mystery Club, kids will step into the role of investigators as we explore the truth of Jesus through engaging Bible stories, real-life stories of faith, and hands-on activities.

Each day will include fun games, interactive challenges, and time to build friendships, along with a snack to keep everyone energized.

Kids will be encouraged to ask questions, think deeply, and discover how the story of Jesus connects to their own lives.

This program is designed for elementary-aged kids and offers a safe, welcoming environment where every child can belong, learn, and have a great time.

We can’t wait to investigate together!

If you have any questions about registering or the program, please contact our Director of Children's Ministry:

Deanna Gutierrez
