Dear Church Family,

There has been confusion regarding child-care and SS/Life Group classes for January 1st services. 

Here is what is provided:

Worship services ONLY for 9:15, 10:45, and 5 PM.

No adult or any other age SS/Life group classes tomorrow January 1st.

We will provide NURSERY for children in Noah's Nursery age (Birth through Age 2's youngest 3's) at all 3 services mentioned above.

Hope that clarifies for everyone.

Preschool and Children's Choirs!!!

We are so excited to introduce the new name for our preschool/children’s choir.  From now on, we are part of Willowbrook Worship and will be known as J.A.M.;  Jesus Approved Music.  Our mission is to teach our preschoolers-6^th graders how to worship and love Jesus through music.
Our program, Voice of Truth, will be held on November 16.  Pray for the students as they prepare to present the gospel and learn that they can change the world.

Easter Sunday Information!

8 AM Service Change!

If you plan on attending the 8 AM service, I am happy to share that we WILL offer a class for every age preschooler this Sunday – 4’s and K-5’s included.

This is for those who are currently in our 4 year (Deer, Ark, Lion, Kangaroo and Giraffe classes) and Kindergarten classes, (Camel & Owl) and all our guests of that age.  The class will be taught in the Promiseland Room # 200 upstairs.

When you check children in on Easter Sunday, be careful to look to see to which class they are assigned. At 8 AM, the classes will be different from the one you usually attend at another hour.

All those in Room 200 after the 8 AM worship need to be picked up immediately following worship dismissal to be taken to their 9:15 class.     Happy Easter!!

These words from Max Lucado spoke to my heart this week. I pray they speak to you as well…

Blessed are the Available

Blessed are the conduits,

the tunnels, the tools.

Deliriously joyful

are the ones who believe

that if God has used

sticks and rocks to do

His will, then He can use us.

Everyone needs a ministry. Be deliriously joyful! God CAN use you to serve Him right here at Willowbrook. All you have to be is willing and obedient.

- Sheila
