Kids Encounter – Summer Program

Kids plan to join us this summer in Downtown Walnut at Liberty Square! If you are going into grades K-5, plan to enjoy all 6 weeks of hands-on activities. Come hang out on Tuesday mornings from 10:30 a.m. to Noon on June 15, 22, 29 as well as July 13, 20, 27. We will play games, make crafts, and enjoy music, snacks, and storytime.

Live Nativity 2020

Join us this year in continuing the tradition of the Live Nativity at WCBC. Plan to drive through the displays on Friday, Saturday or Sunday evenings between 6 to 8 p.m. December 18th, 19th, and 20th.

Please note the following changes this year: To preserve the cherished and authentic atmosphere of the nativity, we will be asking people to NOT wear a mask while they are outdoors portraying a character. To facilitate a safe environment, we are requesting people to sign up in households groups for the angels as well as the Mary & Joseph characters. Wisemen & shepherds can safely distance outdoors without masking.

Volunteers are needed to play parts, kitchen help and help with costume changes. Sign-up sheets for live characters are located on the Communications Table. Or feel free to call and we can find a spot to add you and/or your family to the list. Call Eldon @815-878-5738 or Nathan @815-719-3058.

Keep your family tradition or start a new one by driving or walking through this years Live Nativity Event at Walnut Community Bible Church.
