New Members Class
You are invited to join us for a New Members class! It is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the church—its beliefs, vision, and ministries—as well as interact with the church leadership and other prospective members. Also, you will be better equipped to connect with and serve our church as we seek to advance God’s kingdom in this community. Lunch and childcare and will be provided. If you plan to attend, please sign-up at the Connect Center.
Living a Healthy Life
Join us on Tuesday nights for a 4-part series about Living a Healthy Life from a Romans 12 perspective, taught by Theresa Fallow, MSN, RN. We will meet from 6:30-7:30 pm on February 21 & 28, March 7 & 14. You will learn important health concepts like how to read food labels, how food impacts cardiometabolic disease (diabetes, high blood pressure, and elevated cholesterol) and your immune system, and we will talk about health strategies to improve health. This class will meet in room 102, next to the church office. Please enter the building near the office.
Men’s Retreat
Men and high school boys, join us for the annual Men’s Retreat on March 17-18 at Camp Wabanna. This will be a great time of fellowship. It’s also a time of strengthening relationships and establishing new ones as we look at Titus 2:11-14 – Saved and committed to declare and display the Gospel. We will start with dinner on Friday night at 6pm and finish with lunch on Saturday. Cost is $55/person. You can sign up at the Connect Center or at this link: Men's Retreat Registration. You can pay when you register online, through the offering (checks made out to Weems Creek Church and noted for Men’s Retreat), or online at weemscreek.com/give.
Women’s Retreat
We are so excited for next weekend! The retreat starts with dinner at 6pm and ends with lunch on Saturday at beautiful Camp Wabanna right on the bay in Edgewater. We are looking forward to enjoying this time of fellowship, food and fun as we all learn more about our “place” at God’s table. Cost is $55 per attendant. Sponsor scholarships are available.
