Jonathan Jimmerson begins at WHC on June 1 as the newest pastoral staff.
He and Selby, his wife, will be a great blessing to what the Lord is doing and we welcome them with joy and open arms!
You may feel like you’re dashing from here to there with no time to catch your breath. If so, this series is for you.
The blessing of being “in Christ” is that you have exactly the amount of time you need to do what God wants you to do.
Starting 5/13/12 Pastor Karl will lead us on a spiritual quest to learn what the Bible says about How To Live Your Dash – the time between the first day and the final day of your life.

Willow Creek’s Global Leadership Summit is unsurpassed in quality of leadership training and this year it is offered on the Peninsula at Central Peninsula Church in Foster City. WHC is sending the first 25 WHC members who sign-up for a deeply discounted price. The price is $149 per person but WHC is serving as a “summit partner” and so the cost is lowered to $100. So, the first 25 to WHC Members to sign-up will pay only $49 as the Elders have authorized scholarships of $50 each.

Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn’t working harder at a list of do’s and don’ts — it’s falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same.
Because when you’re wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.

Last Summer WHC started July without a Worship Pastor and Mack Ortis stepped in as a volunteer for 2 months while the search began for a permanent Worship Pastor. From September 2011 through May 2012 Mack served as interim worship leader and led WHC’s Magnification Ministry in some long-desired improvements.
In addition to leading the Worship Team week-to-week, Mack led in the analysis of the sound system and a plan to address some of the deficiencies. He also gave guidance to the projects of carpeting the Worship Center (a gift from NCMC) and the building of a new Tech Booth (built by Scott Powell). Additionally, he maintained everything from cables and musical instruments to lighting and assistance with WHC’s Arabic congregation.
The Elders lead WHC in saying, “Thank you, Mack, for a job well done!”
Current 2012 semester course is called The Big Picture Of Scripture. This is a great way to kick-off the New Year. The class corresponds to the heart of Pastor Karl’s message, Occupy The Word, taught Sunday, 1/1/12 (if you are out-of-the-area and/or don’t attend WHC you can listen to the message on our website, www.WesternHIlls.org). Occupy God’s Word outlines the 4 purposes of Scripture and the 5 levels for getting Scripture into your life.
When you complete this semester you’ll have studied what I consider to be the 21 most important chapters of the Bible needed for understanding the whole arc of Scripture.
The format will be the same as the past: you’ll get the individual lessons daily, Monday-Friday, via e-mail. As always, it’s 100% free and direct-to-you via e-mail. You can enroll here.
We’re not your ordinary church! We like to spice things up and that makes us unique in our approach to sharing relevant messages and topics that you can relate to. Check us out each Sunday at 10:30 am.
We are dedicated to sharing the truth about God’s Word in exciting and creative ways.
Listen to our most recent messages online to get a flavor of what we’re talking about.
If you have questions please feel free to contact Pastor Karl by email anytime.
We hope to see you soon!
