Photos from Rise Against Hunger – 2/17/19

On Sunday, February 17th, we hosted Rise Against Hunger for a food packing program.  We were joined by members of Cape Fear Presbyterian Church, Girl Scout Troops and Boy Scouts.  Many thanks to our Deacons who lead us in mission and the historic and ongoing gifts from the Loman and Tilden families that enable Winter Park Presbyterian Church to be about mission in our community and around the world!

WPPC Ukulele Choir

Our Adult Ukulele Choir practices on Sunday evenings at 4:45pm and Friday Mornings at 8:30am.  Come to either practice or both.  (The Sunday practice overlaps with our Children’s Choir.  Children are welcome to come – and do – to our Friday practice.)

The Ukulele Choir shares their gifts in worship about once a month.  They play a mix of music and styles – and have quite a bit of fun doing it.

Come strum with our Ukes!
