What if I told you that there are more slaves today than there were in Abraham Lincoln’s time? Come join Cathedral Window and friends as we share some songs, have some fun, raise some awareness, have some raffles and free will offerings, acknowledge the good, and praise our God.

This, our fourth annual benefit concert, will be held in a new location (Expeditions Unlimited in Baraboo – right outside Devil’s Lake State Park) and on a new night (Thursday, October 17th starting at 6:30 pm).

Raffles and free will offerings and snacks to follow, but we’ll wrap it everything up by 8:30 as we realize it’s a week night. Tell your family and friends. Can’t wait to see YOU there!

1. (noun) a basic stitch in knitting meaning to knit two stitches together.
2. (noun) YWCA Wausau’s knitting group, making sure the kiddos at Barrington Head Start Center are covered to play all winter long.

At the heart of our programming is creating space to strengthen the connections between the people of our community and the ideas they share.

We love Head Start and their mission to promote the cognitive, social, and emotional readiness of children from low-income families. We are honored to partner with them on this new endeavor to help give these kiddos a boost, and ensuring they have the cold weather necessities to play outside!

Join us every Tuesday at 7pm, beginning October 22. This is a space for seasoned knitters, those learning to knit, those who want to learn to knit, or those who simply want to help give something back to the community in a meaningful way.

We have patterns, yarn, & needles! Come as you are.

A fun family night of roller skating. Skating games, video games, and Christian Music all evening!

The Way of Love Revival is an open and public event for anyone seeking a life centered on Jesus. Do you seek to explore and live his Way of Love? How will you, your church your ministry commit to following the Way of Jesus? How could you join or gather a community for practicing a Jesus-centered life? Get inspired at the Way of Love Revival by looking at how we all can live the Way of Love.

Come hear the message of Michael Curry, the preacher at the 2018 Royal Wedding, whose clear message of love was, according to the New York Times, “the surprise biggest star of this royal wedding.” Bishop Curry said Christianity is “a movement grounded in the unconditional love of God for the world and a movement mandating people to live that love and in so doing to change not only their lives but the very life of the world itself.” His message at the Way of Love Revival will echo that love in ways that can inspire those gathered to go out into the world and share that love, and provide practices for a Jesus-centered life.

Come and be inspired by international speaker Bob Lenz. His humorous, down-to-earth style combined with genuine concern and storytelling combines his personal experience with in-depth biblical knowledge and inspires others to embrace faith in Christ and take the next step closer to God.
