SPECIAL EVENTS

DECEMBER 5, 2025

It’s that wonderful time of year again — time to deck the halls, string the lights, and fill the church with Christmas cheer! Join us as we decorate the building for Christmas. This festive evening coincides with Wayne’s annual Tree Lighting and Carriage Rides, which happen right outside our doors — so we’ll also be welcoming the community in for warm beverages, cookies, and restroom access. It’s a beautiful way to share the warmth and hospitality of Wayne Church while getting into the holiday spirit together. Come lend a hand with decorating or just stop by to enjoy the sights and sounds of the season. Let’s make our church shine inside and out for all who pass by!

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7 AT 5PM

Join us for our cherished annual Advent Dinner & Crafts, a cozy evening of good food, creativity, and fellowship as we celebrate the season together. We’ll share a warm meal before diving into crafts for both kids and adults—whether you love glitter, prefer minimal craft exposure, or just want to soak in the joy of community, there’s a place for you at the table. To help us prepare, please take a moment to RSVP HERE. An offering is requested to offset the cost of food and supplies, $10/adult, $5/child ages 5-12 (4 & under are free).

If you’re able to help with setup, serving, crafts (no planning necessary), or cleanup, we’d be grateful for the extra hands, please SIGN UP TO HELP HERE.

SATURDAY DECEMBER 13, 2025, AT 11:00AM IN THE WELL

It’s that special time of year again! We invite you to join us for our Ladies Advent Communion and Fellowship, a peaceful moment to pause, reflect, and prepare for the season of Advent—before the bustle of Christmas begins.

The gathering will begin with a short service and the celebration of Communion. Following the service, we’ll enjoy lovely light refreshments, providing a wonderful opportunity to connect with friends—and perhaps meet some new ones as well. It’s a time of fellowship where you can invite your friends, daughters, mothers, neighbors, or colleagues to join in. Please note that this is a ladies-only event.

If you’re able, we would appreciate it if you could bring a light refreshment to share. To sign up, please use the link to add your name. Sign up here!

DECEMBER 14, 2025 STARTING AT 4PM

Get ready for a double dose of Christmas cheer! All are welcome to kick things off at 4pm in the Well as we gather for Christmas Caroling. Together, we’ll walk or drive over to the Wayne Center Rehabilitation on West Ave. to share the joy of the season through song. Caroling begins at 4:15, and we’ll head back to the church by 5:45pm—hearts full, smiles wide, and voices warm.

 And the music doesn’t stop there! At 6pm, the Well transforms into our Christmas Karaoke Coffee House. Grab a cookie (or two), and get ready to belt out your favorite holiday hits. Whether you can sing like an angel or just jingle all the way, this evening is about fun, fellowship, and festive spirit. Come for the caroling, stay for the karaoke—or join for both! Either way, it’s a night to make memories, lift spirits, and celebrate the joy of Christmas together.

GIVE THE GIFT THAT CAN’T BE WRAPPED

This Christmas, you can give something more powerful than anything under the tree—the gift of life. Our next Wayne Church Blood Drive is happening on Thursday, December 18, and we’re inviting you to be part of a holiday miracle. One donation can help save up to three lives—talk about peace on earth and goodwill toward all! In a season filled with cookies, carols, and cozy traditions, make room for one more act of kindness. There’s no shopping, no wrapping, no shipping delays—just you, showing up and making a difference. Bonus cheer: we’ll have festive snacks, smiling faces, and maybe even a jingle or two to keep things merry and bright.  Sign Up HERE.
