- Children/Youth Pool Party: We will have a Children/Youth Pool Party at the Holland Home on Saturday, April 26 from 4 pm to 7 pm. Join us for a fun evening of swimming, games, and dinner. Drinks, burgers and Hot Dogs will be provided. Please bring a side or dessert to share. At least one parent must attend with their child(ren). There is a sign up on the Children’s Board in the Narthex.
- Upward Bound: We are making plans for VBS this Summer. The dates are June 2nd thru June 6th. The theme is Upward Bound. Our children will learn about Jesus’ perilous journey from the Courts of Heaven to the cross and back again. We need volunteers to make VBS happen. We can use adults and teens as volunteers. We need people for Bible, snacks, crafts, class leaders, and recreation. Please see Dana Cook or Jackie Eggert if you would like to volunteer. The forms to register your children are in the Narthex.
- Easter: Our Easter weekend begins on Friday, April 18 at 7 PM with our Tenebrae service, where we gather to reflect on the suffering and death of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is followed by our Easter sunrise service Sunday at 7 AM celebrating Christ’s resurrection (you may bring a chair, and dress is casual as it is outside). Immediately after the sunrise service we have breakfast and a time of fellowship. Our Easter Sunday worship culminates with our traditional Easter service at 11 AM.
- Meals on Wheels Needs Desserts: Westminster's MOW program is running low on desserts and could use our help. They need icing free cakes, cookies, cupcakes, and brownies. MOW feeds around 100 people every Monday and is a ministry to the elderly in our community. You may reach out to the church office with any questions.
- Volunteers Needed to Welcome Our Visitors: We have a need for some of our church family to consider helping our visitors feel welcome on Sunday mornings. Our volunteers will keep an eye out for new people visiting the church, and make sure that they get a welcome kit (one of the mugs in the Narthex that has information about the church in it), talk to them, and get their information to give to Pastor Jeremy or Pastor Wes. There will be a rotating schedule of volunteers, so typically you will only fill this role once a month (maybe once every two months). If you are interested in this very important ministry of the church, please contact Jeremy at 656-200-2559 or jeremy@wpcbrandon.org.
- Bible Reading Plan for 2025: THE FIVE-DAY BIBLE READING PROGRAM – This Bible reading system allows you to read the entire Bible (or just the New Testament) in one year while only reading five times a week. Five readings a week gives room to catch up or take a day off to focus on other Bible reading or spiritual disciplines. This plan comes with a Reader’s Companion for the Five-Day Bible Reading Schedule. Following the Five-Day Bible Reading Schedule, the Companion offers introductions to each book of the Bible as it appears on the schedule, and key comments to help you understand difficult verses, puzzling texts, and the overall flow and impact of the current reading. To access the Reader’s Companion and the 5-day plan go to our church website (wpcbrandon.org). Click on the “ministries” tab in the drop-down menu. Click on the Five-Day Bible Reading Plan and you can access all of the resources.
