Rejoice In Giving 2024
Platte Woods Church continues the tradition of providing hope and dignity to local families during the Christmas season by equipping them to create their own holiday experience through Rejoice in Giving.
Early Candlelight Christmas Eve
This Christmas season, you are invited to experience the light of Christ, just like you would on Christmas Eve, a little bit early. Maybe you would like to spend time at home with your family. Maybe Christmas Eve is just too hectic for you. Maybe you are leaving your seat on Christmas Eve for a new guest that is looking for a church home. No matter the reason, you have the opportunity to worship with your church family at an alternative time while still experiencing the exact same worship service.

Candlelight Christmas Eve
This is the night that we have been awaiting. You are invited to this holy night of worship. We make space, we take time, for the one beyond space and time. We will sing songs that bring us to Christmas past, hear the story told again, with new ears, and we mark this night with a candle that shines for the world to see.

Skate Night at River Roll!
Everyone is invited to roller skate at River Roll on January 4th from 5:30-7:30. Cost to skate is $5. PWC has rented out the rink. Invite friends, family and neighbors to come for a night of fun.
Blue Christmas
During the season of advent, we are reminded that God draws near to us. The days become shorter and colder. We find moments of connection but we may find ourselves more isolated as the year comes to a close. As with all things that end, we experience grief. You are invited to draw near to God and one another through this meaningful worship experience at either 1:30 or 6:30 on December 18th.

Rejoice in Giving
Platte Woods Church continues the tradition of providing hope and dignity to local families during the Christmas season by equipping them to create their own holiday experience through Rejoice in Giving. You can support our holiday outreach by giving financially, donating gifts from our Amazon Wish List or choosing items to donate from our Giving Wall (located in the Gathering Space starting November 17th), or signing up to Serve. Click here to see all of the ways you can participate!
Families that are recipients of our holiday assistance provide us with a wish list of personalized needs and wants for each family member. These gift requests will be displayed in the Gathering Space for you to shop for starting November 17th. We do this so that each gift is individualized for every child, so they feel valued and loved.
We distribute the gifts directly to the parents and guardians so that they have the opportunity to wrap and prepare the gifts themselves and experience the gift of giving to their families.
If you know a family that needs some additional help this season, please have them contact Brandi Molina, director of outreach and missions.
