The Good and Faithful Servants of God.

Our volunteers are one of a kind. They serve without worldly benefit. Giving of themselves to make the church a better home for others. We can not do enough or say enough great things about them. We know that they are God's "Good and Faithful Servants." Below are just the tip of the iceberg of the people that make the ministry of Whitworth Community Presbyterian Church possible.

Betty Houtchen Office Volunteer	Betty is our beloved office volunteer. Her tireless dedication to making the office function is a blessing to everyone. We thank God daily for her and lift her up as a person who makes a real difference bringing the kingdom of God here on earth. She actively lives out her faith serving our church.

Barry Ramsay Adult Education Speaker	Paul's letter to the Romans is considered by many to be the most important document in the history of Christianity. It discusses controversial topics like predestination, original sin and the salvation of Israel as well as well-known passages describing salvation, God's grace and mercy and the Christian life. You are invited to participate in a study of Romans this summer that will examine Pauline theology, philosophy and ethics. Please bring all your questions, friends and energy to this exciting, introductory class into the greatest of Paul's epistles. Barry is a theology student at Whitworth University and is new member of WCPC.
