Back to normal on the hill

sherri — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:30:41 +0000

Those who don’t live at the top of the hill in West Linn might have wondered at our wimpiness in closing our building for much of Monday evening through Wednesday morning. Please trust us when we say that you didn’t want to brave the icy roads leading up to the church – the cars and buses littering the ditches were a testament to that!

Snow doesn’t phase us, but we’ll close whenever the roads or our parking lot are too icy for you to get here safely. On Tuesday, the wet snow was coming down too quickly to clear it so we could reach the ice below to deal with it. Enjoy the pictures from earlier this week as we move back into our typical winter rain…

It’s a winter wonderland!

sherri — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 15:30:10 +0000

The area meteorologists are feeling vindicated, since they certainly got the forecast right this time! It appears as though the roads around the church will become progressively icier as temperatures drop this evening. To ensure the safety of our staff and guests, our office is closed as of 5pm this afternoon (Thursday), and through at least 10am tomorrow. All evening and early morning events are canceled. We’ll update the website and phone system as conditions change.

Operation Christmas Child 2010!

aaron — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 22:46:50 +0000

Operation Christmas Child is a wonderful ministry run by Samaritain’s Purse. The idea is simple: Pack a shoebox for a child in need. It may not seem like much to us, but to children who have practically nothing, these shoeboxes are the highlight of their year, for some the highlight of their lifetime. Check out the video below for information. We’ll collect shoebox gifts from October 23 through November 14 in the WCC lobby. Give generously this year!

Mission:HOPE (2010 Fall Series)

aaron — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 16:06:48 +0000

Mission: HOPE Trailer from Willamette Christian Church on Vimeo.

Trailer for “Mission:HOPE”, the 2010 fall series at Willamette Christian Church.

Starting this fall, lead pastor Joel Dombrow begins “Mission:HOPE” a brand new series focusing on living our lives on mission for God.

At Willamette, we don’t want to be content to just “do church” or just put on good services. Being the church is so much more than that. Jesus challenged us to live for God every single day of our lives… and really, if we haven’t given God control over every aspect of our lives, is He really our Master? Are we TRULY in love with God? Or are we content to just be “nice” people?

Come out this weekend to be challenged to give God complete control over your life.

Night Of Worship!

aaron — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 02:01:51 +0000

“It. Was. Amazing…”
“…changed me”
“Can’t wait for the next one!”

These are just a few of the quotes from people who participated in our recent Night Of Worship. We really believe God is doing something amazing here at WCC, and worship plays a big role in that. One of the MAIN ways we show love to God is just by simply singing our hearts out to him in worship. We believe it honors Him and blesses His heart… but most of all, worshipping God changes us. It makes us more like Him…

Join us for an extended time of worship on Sunday, September 12 at 7pm. This event is free, all ages are welcome… and you won’t want to miss it!

Childcare will be provided.

Get Baptized!

kim — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 20:14:56 +0000

Baptism Announcement from Willamette Christian Church on Vimeo.

Jesus instructed us to be baptized. Baptism is an act of obedience and it demonstrates submission to God. We immerse because we believe Scripture shows that Jesus modeled that for us as the way to publicly acknowledge our faith in Him.
