We begin the year by celebrating Sanctity of Human Life Sunday on January 18 and supporting the mission of New Life Clinic through their Baby Bottle Fundraiser. Pick up a baby bottle at church, fill it with loose change (or not-so-loose change), and bring it back as a simple yet powerful way to stand for life and support mothers, babies, and families in our community. Every coin represents hope and every bottle reflects the love of God for the value of life.

Next, we invest in the next generation through our CIY Giving Board. Each year, students from WCC attend the Christ in Youth conferences—MIX for middle school and MOVE for high school—where they experience life-changing moments with God. The cost is around $400 per student, and through this giving initiative, we help make those experiences possible. Every gift is divided equally among students, reminding them that their church family believes in them and is helping them grow in faith.

For over 70 years, WCC has partnered with Butler Springs Christian Camp, where thousands of young people have encountered Jesus and made decisions that changed their lives forever. While registration fees cover much of the cost, the camp relies on churches to help with essentials like cereal, juice, and cleaning supplies. This May, we’ll be collecting one of these practical items (to be announced soon) as our tangible way of supporting the next generation of campers. Bring your donation to the church throughout the month and join us in fueling another summer of transformation.

Each year during Vacation Bible School, our children participate in a hands-on mission project, collecting items for a chosen organization that makes a difference in people’s lives. It’s more than just giving—it’s teaching the next generation to live generously. This is your child’s opportunity to see how small acts of kindness can ripple outward and show the love of Jesus in real and practical ways.
