We will be having another serve day on Saturday, August 7th from 9:00 am- 12:00 pm to help get things cleaned up and ready for the start of the school year. We hope you can join us!
Pray For Our High School Students
Our High School Students will be attending The Rock Conference this Friday thru Sunday. Please keep them in your prayers as they embark on a journey filled with adventure, fun, and faith formation that will help them grow closer to God. This Conference is such an amazing opportunity for them to meet God in a new way. Help them grow in their relationship with God by praying for them this week.

There are so many ways for you to make a difference both here at Wilshire and in our community. On Sunday mornings you can help us with set up, tear down and part of our connection team. Or during the week you can help us prepare for Sunday mornings in many different ways. We also have opportunities to serve in the community.

Parenting Through The Phases Workshop
This Wednesday, August 4
You have approximately 936 weeks from the time your child is born until he or she graduates from high school. It goes by fast, and kids change and grow quickly. It’s as if they shift or move on just as you’re starting to figure them out. It all makes the responsibility to shape a child’s faith and character feel overwhelming. This workshop will give you some tools and resources to maneuver through each phase. July 28th & August 4th 9-11:30. Childcare will be provided.
Fresh Hope
Wednesdays from 6:30 – 8 pm, Online via Zoom
Fresh Hope is a new group that we are starting here at Wilshire for anyone who is currently experiencing or has had a mental health challenge as well as families members of those with a mental health challenge. Fresh Hope is a safe place for you to meet with a group of peers who share similar experiences with mental health. Fresh Hope is free to attend. Register by going to wilshireave.com/connect.
Colombia Church Plant
God is doing amazing things at the church we helped plant in Colombia. The building is currently under construction but that hasn’t stopped the believers there. The church is making a difference in the community and meeting under a tree to worship and have service. Please continue to pray for Colombia as their COVID numbers have increased recently.

Download The Parent Cue App
Parents, if you’ve ever wondered what your children are learning on Sundays we want to introduce you to the Parent Cue App. The Parent Cue App is directly linked to our Sunday WA Kids curriculum so you can stay in the loop with what they’re learning. The app will help you make the most of the every day opportunities that come up by cueing you with questions, activities and lessons to fit in a car ride or play time.
