Winter Park Presbyterian Church
Loving & Inclusive church in mid-town Wilmington
Events and Activities
We love being a community. Below are a few of our ongoing activities.
Bus Trips: We make use of our 15-passenger mini bus to go out and explore our region. Every month, a day-time trip is offered to a destination anywhere in about a 2.5 hour radius. We have visited museums, historic homes, churches, historic sites, aquariums and animal centers, theaters, gardens, and more. The bus trips are a way to build community, get involved, and explore life and faith together. We also have a great deal of fun!
We aim to keep cost minimal. There is a small suggested donation for the “care and feeding” of the bus. Our pastor is typically the chief bus driver!
Church Dinners: Most months we have a Wednesday Night Supper and Program. The menu is planned by our Fellowship Commission, and the food is always great! Some of our best cooks come out to shine.
Programs vary. Sometimes we have a guest speaker. Often the program is an “all ages” activity which relates to an upcoming worship service.
Our “Painting Series” has explored several Bible passages by inviting everyone to paint pictures in response a specific Bible passage. We have quite a bit of fun!
The Young at Hearts meet every month on the Second Thursday at 11:30am. This covered dish luncheon is a WPPC tradition. We share a feast of assorted casseroles, deviled eggs, salads, fried chicken, BBQ, and more before enjoying the monthly program.
Past programs have explored history, culture, dance, music, art, mission, community service organizations, and more.
Come join and be “Young at Heart”!!!
Second Sunday Breakfasts: The second Sunday of each month (September to May) features a made-to order breakfast in Chadbourn Hall. Some of Wilmington’s best omlettes are cooked by a dedicated gang who love serving up fresh eggs, bacon, sausage, grits, and toast with a smile.
Come enjoy breakfast the Second Sunday of the month: 7:30am to 9:30am.
