Lighthouse | October 31st

WRCC has an exciting opportunity on October 31st to share God's love & light in our community. We are encouraging our entire congregation to turn on the light at their home and be a LIGHTHOUSE! The idea is simple. Every year dozens of families walk up to your door expecting a simple piece of candy. This year we want to be ready for them. We want to be there to shake their hands, get to know them and build an intentional relationship.

Sign up to be a Lighthouse in the lobby every Sunday morning leading up to October 31st. We've prepared a few resources to help equip you for this Lighthouse Event. Each resource pack is $10.

  • Glowsticks! | Just imagine your neighborhood full of kids glowing as they walk door to door. Each resource pack comes with 30 glowsticks. If you need more just ask!
  • White River Sports/Church card | We aren't asking that you pass one out to each family but if your conversation leads you to talk about church it could be a great way to invite them to White River.
