Welcome, Y’all! Promotion Sunday + Lunch

On Sunday, Aug. 17, we’ll kick off a new Sunday School year, a new school year — and Wilshire’s 75th Anniversary.

Promotion Sunday
Preschoolers, children and youth will move to new Sunday School classes, and it’s a great day for adults to try a new class or try Sunday School for the first time.

Blessing of the Backpacks

The annual Blessing of the Backpacks will be held during worship on Aug. 17. Children are encouraged to bring their backpacks or school bags to church, and they’ll be invited to the front to receive a blessing as the school year begins.

Lunch after church
Join us after worship for a BBQ lunch in Community Hall. Cost for the meal: adults, $10; kids 4–9, $5; free for 3 and under; household max: $35. Cash/check/credit accepted at the door. No registration needed.
• Volunteers eat for half price. Sign up to help here:
