Meal in the Upper Room, Maundy Thursday- April 18, 2019
The annual Meal in the Upper Room will be held on Thursday evening, April 18 at 6:30 p.m. The Meal in the Upper Room is a very special service to commemorate Jesus' final meal with His disciples, known as the Last Supper. This meal, the Seder, was celebrated on the first night of Passover. Passover is the week-long period that recognizes the freeing of the Israelites out of slavery from the Egyptian Pharoah. This special meal represents a thoughtful connection to Jesus during the last moments of His life before His sacrifice for us. This time of deep reflection bonds us with those moments of His life and the security of knowing that He will return. Please mark your calendars and plan to join us for this very special tradition of worship at WACC. A goodwill offering of $10 will be collected at the dinner.

The Board of Christian Outreach holds Food Basket Sunday on the third Sunday of every month. We will once again be collecting food and toiletry items to help fill the shelves at Gifts of Love.

Dining for Women: This program meets once a month to raise funds and support programs that help disadvantaged women. The goal of this organization is to “educate girls, teach women a skill, help develop markets for their products, and fight the prevalent gender inequality in the world. We give a hand up, not a hand out. Dining for Women celebrates the power of the individual to see an injustice and act to change it; to see need and act to fill it. Dining for Women’s members are deeply involved in the programs we support and the problems we seek to address. Our education component is equally as important as our fundraising.” Please contact Susan Lane at (860)675-8664 or selinavon@aol.com for details.
