Hi church,

It is totally free if you want to use it! The church pays an annual subscription that gives you complete access. If you are interested, let us know (office@weemscreek.com) and we will pass on the link.

Veteran’s Day Tribute Video

Sandy McCarthy is updating our video tribute to the service men and women of our church. If you are serving or have served in the military, please email a photo (in uniform, if possible) to Sandy McCarthy (sandygramms@gmail.com) by Nov. 3rd.

Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes

Can you believe it’s that time of year already? Last year, our church family filled 325 shoeboxes, and we hope to surpass that number this year! Pick up a shoebox in the atrium, fill it with fun toys, school supplies, and hygiene items, and return it by Nov. 10. This is a great way to bless children around the world and share the message of Jesus at the same time.

Weems Creek will be a national drop-off site again this year. National collection week is Nov. 18-24. In a few weeks we’ll be asking for volunteers to collect shoeboxes.

Team Emert Shirts

As a church, we have been praying for Tom Emert and his family during his cancer treatments. As a show of support, his Sunday school class designed Team Emert shirts. Several people have expressed an interest in purchasing the shirts. If you would like to order one, please click here: https://jobs-move-04j.craft.me/qvNV0YhbOxwByj. These shirts are not part of a fundraiser, they are simply to show our support. The last day to order shirts is next Sunday, Oct. 27th.

Weems Creek Apparel

Did you miss out on purchasing Weems Creek apparel in the spring? I have good news! We will share the link again in the next few weeks. They would make great Christmas gifts!

Blessings!

Pastor Bryan
