United Presbyterian Church

of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio

Wednesday Night ALIVE is for all. Singles find fellowship and growth opportunities. Its great for families, too because our programming appeals to all ages and its one night you don't have to cook. WNAlive offers a great environment for children to grow spiritually.  We have a variety of adult program offerings for 2008. Many great accomplishments were achieved.   Mark your calendars for Winter 2008:

January 9 through March 12 - Wednesdays

• 1st Session    5:15 pm - 6:00 pm

• Dinner           6:05 pm - 6:40 pm

• 2nd Session   6:45 pm - 7:30 pm

To add interest and make the program fun for children we will have a theme each week. 

It was Pirate Night so we wore pirate hats.

Programming for all ages.

Child care for toddlers will be available.

Preschool Children through grade 5. One session will be music with choir and instruments and preparation for worship participation. The other session will be a hands on Bible learning experience with fun activities. More information on WNA for Children

Middle school grades 6 through 8. One session of Bible activities and the other will emphasize worship participation which may include puppets and video making. More information on WNA for Youth,

High school grades 9 through 12 will have a program built around the needs of individuals. High school students provide excellent worship resources. These may include drama, multimedia production, liturgical dance, and even adult options. More information on WNA for Youth,

From our pastor...

ALIVE ... That is what we want to be ... and that is also God's desire for us: To be truly ALIVE!  Jesus said:  "I have come that they might have life, and ... have it more abundantly" [John10.10].   

Here at this church we are taking God seriously and joyfully flowing in His promise of life.  Our newest ministry is called: Wednesday Night ALIVE! - Abundant Living In Varied Experiences.  And this ministry is for YOU.  As you can see from this brochure, we are offering varied experiences with God and with one another in order to enhance and live out the promise of Jesus to have that life "more abundantly."

 We are very mindful of various ages and learning styles as we plan and provide this program.  We seek to minister to the whole family.    We also know that when people are fully engaged, using their curiosity to expand their spiritual awareness, building on their talents and reaching for more of God in their lives, people feel more and more fulfilled and more and more ALIVE.  

So come and join in.  ... Explore with us ... Discover with us ... Laugh with us ... Eat with us ... Share the journey with us ... And experience what it means to be more ALIVE in your walk with God.
