Although we often prepare financially throughout our lives, we often fail to prepare mentally, emotionally, or spiritually for new challenges. Explore Your Future is a series of interactive workshops that help us adapt when entering new phases of life, like Empty Nesting or the Encore Years.

The Explore Your Future group kicks off on February 25 and runs through March 18. They will meet on Tuesday evenings from 6:00-8:00 PM.

Our WC Students and WC Kids are working with Something to Eat to make a bigger impact for hunger in 2025! Join us on February 22, 2025, for a city-wide meal packing event to supply area pantries with thousands of shelf-stable meals.

The WC Students will meet at 11:30 AM at the SMB, go eat lunch, then serve at the food packing event. Pick up at the SMB at 3:15 PM. If you are serving as a family, you can meet at the location listed below at 1:15 PM.

This city-wide meal-packing event will be a large, unified effort to fight food insecurity in Kansas City. In one weekend, we’ll pack thousands of meals for our neighbors, living out Jesus' call to serve in Matthew 25, "Whatever you did for one of the least of these, you did for me...." 

This event is about more than just one day - it's about growing our compassion to serve others as a way of life.

LOCATED: Summit Trail Middle School, 22201 W 118th St, Olathe, KS 66061

Ages three and up can participate!  Invite your grandparents, family, and friends to serve with you!

Come join us as Tammy Meinhardt shows us how to turn old wool sweaters into warm and adorable mittens!

Tammy has supplies we can use, but we would love to have everyone check your closets for wool or cashmere sweaters you no longer wear. Moth holes are okay!

You can then take your mitten-making skills and supplies home to make mittens for our Clothing Closet. Or take your newfound skill and make your own sweaters into gifts for friends and family.

Patterns will be supplied, so make sure to sign up HERE to ensure we have enough for everyone!
