Beloved congregation,
Many of you are battling illness or have recently recovered from illness. With a growing church, it is increasingly challenging to remain appraised of the health of all our members, so please don't hesitate to reach out to your shepherding elders so that we can stay informed and prayerful on your behalf. We sincerely await your full recovery and return to embodied worship with us.
As you prepare for worship this Lord's Day, pray for Pastor Roberts and me as we open God's Word to you. I routinely reflect upon the response of the great Charles Spurgeon when someone asked him how he accounted for the effectiveness of his preaching ministry. His reply was simple and profound: "My people pray for me."
In the bonds of Christ's love,
~Pastor Joe

The worship service bulletin for Sunday's services is available HERE. It contains suggestions from Pastor Steele regarding ways for you to maximize the sense of corporate worship at home. We have also added the announcements for congregants who worship at home.
The Livestream is available HERE and will start 5 minutes prior to the start of each service. The WPC Facebook page also supports the Livestream option.

Reminder!
This Sunday after the Morning Worship service, our New Members Class will meet in the Parlor during the Sunday school hour. We will meet on the following six Sundays: January 16, 23, 30, February 6, 13, & 20. This six-week class is designed for you to learn more about our beliefs, values, and opportunities for service. It also serves as the first necessary step toward membership. Contact the Church Office if you would like to sign up to attend.

Sunday Fellowship Lunches
Start back February 6th
Fellowship Lunches are a great way to get to know each other in a more relaxed home setting while sharing a meal once each month. Host families provide a place to meet after church on the first Sunday of each month. WPC members and visitors who sign up will bring a side dish, salad or dessert to the lunch. All are welcome - families with small children, singles, visitors, senior members, new members. The next Fellowship Lunches will be on Sunday, February 6th. Sign ups will start on January 23rd on the Blue Sheet. For more information, contact Brian McFadden or Rachel Buhl.

Dinners of Eight
Dinners of Eight are a way for us to get better acquainted with each other here at WPC. Once a month during February, March, April, and May, eight people will get together for dinner at someone’s house (or at a restaurant if that works better.) The host will supply the main dish and bread, while others will bring a vegetable, salad, or dessert to share. Groupings and assignments will rotate each month. Sign-ups will start on January 23rd on the Blue Sheet. Contact Brian McFadden for more information.

Prayer and Praise
If you are unable to attend corporate worship in person, we still want you to make your prayer requests known so we can pray for one another. Send your prayer requests to office@wpc-hsv.org and put "Prayer Request" in the subject line. The Prayer & Praise email is sent out every Tuesday.
|
Church Giving
We do have a virtual option for making contributions for those who are unable to attend corporate worship in person. For online giving, click HERE. You may also mail a check to the church office. Thank you all for your continuous, faithful and generous stewardship of God's resources.
"Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work"
(2 Cor. 9:7-8).
