Discipleship
Whitelick PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH is a community of faith, diversity, and
love. We celebrate God's gift of unconditional love for all people as
we seek to live out our spiritual quest in the midst of life's
challenges and obligations. Journey with us as we care for one another
in Christ's name and reach out to our community and world with healing
and forgiveness.

Sept. 7: We are God’s Stewards.
This group discussion will bring together all of the issues we have
discussed this summer. As a class we will challenge each other and

credo. It is our hope that everyone will be able to commit to at
least one new action to help protect God’s World.
Sept. 14: Call for Action.
We will put the finishing touches on the draft developed last week
and discuss strategies for implementation within the congregation.

Sept. 28: Where is our Passion?

Adult Discipleship Ministry Team
Could Use Your Help
Our offerings for adult education continue to grow. In
the Wildwood Café the team has posted a banner highlighting the
areas where the team has chosen to serve: Faith Forming; Disciple
Making; Ministry/Mission Moving; Tools for Daily Living; Developing
Leaders and Teachers; and, Serving Special Needs.
Come join the team as we can use more help to develop the offerings of
interest to you. You don’t need to teach a class, but be willing to
contribute time and ideas. Our next meeting for a spring
planning session will be Saturday, March 18 from 9:30-noon. If you are
currently not a member of another ministry team, here is your chance
to become active and get to know other adults at WLPC. Need more
