To sign up to help click  HERE 

Celebration Sunday is a special, blended service including contemporary and traditional elements. We will have just one service at 11:00. This is an opportunity for us to worship as one church body and hear from our own Bishop Ruben Saenz, Jr.

In addition to Bishop Ruben Saenz, Jr., we will also be blessed by the presence and leadership of Bishop Joe Wilson and several of the Wellspring associated clergy who will assist with communion!

We will also receive a special offering to be presented at the gathering of the Central Texas Conference to benefit those who suffered massive loss in the Panhandle/Canadian Wildfires.

Our schedule is as follows:

10:00 - Christian Education (normal schedule)

11:00 - Combined Celebration Worship Service

(In honor of Pentecost, all are encouraged to wear red)

12:00 - Meet at the Well - Childcare will be available during this time

Meet at the Well is a semi-annual event to update the church on Wellspring’s ministries and break bread together. We’ll hear about our growing ministries such as justice ministries, updates on YMCA, family ministry developments, and more. We’ll also hear a few highlights from General Conference and celebrate the dedication of our building. You won’t want to miss it!

Wellspring has a wonderful opportunity for our congregation to engage with the children attending the YMCA Camp Brightwell on our campus this summer.  We are helping on Wednesdays with the camp opening ceremony or their lunchtime.  Neither require much except a desire to be in community with this wonderful summer program.  Help lead and be a part of their opening ceremony as well as eat lunch (brown bag) with children of all ages.
