Welcome John Shipp!

After Church Luncheon

We're so delighted to have John, Teresa and Iain joining our WCF congregation!

Join us April 27 after the service at Peter and Cynthia Olmstead's house for lunch to get to know the Shipps. We will eat, hang out around the piano, and enjoy getting to know our new associate pastor and his family better.

Please bring your favorite dessert or beverages to share. Since lunch is being provided, we will need a headcount. Please write the number in your party on the signup sheet at the Book Table after church this Sunday.

Limited Parking: Please try to carpool to the Olmstead's.

If you have any questions, please contact the church at (310) 829-9344.

The study is based on the book entitled "The Character of a Man: Reflecting

the Image of Jesus" by Bruce Marchiano. The lessons emphasize Jesus'

identity as the Son of Man and explores His passion, humility, respect

for women, fearlessness, integrity, gentleness, and more. If you are a

middle schooler, please join us Sunday mornings after being dismissed

from the main service at 10 am!
