Formation for Discipleship (F4D) welcomes all who would like to participate in a variety of
experiences and discussions which lead to personal and corporate spiritual growth.
We offer Sunday F4D
at 11:15 a.m. for all ages.
Sunday Formation for Discipleship - Wherever you go, God is there!
We also invite all youth from sixth-grade through high school to take
part in our weekly youth activities. These include playing games, swimming parties,
watching movies, scavenger hunts, studies, as well as mission activities. Our schedule
of meeting times is posted on the Youth News link in the WPPC website. We also encourage
"Children of God" of all ages to participate in formation experiences in worship via full
participation in the liturgy each Sunday. Our Children and Youth Liturgical Coordinators
welcome your interest in participating in liturgical processions and other roles.
Two major events take place in the summer. The first is our Vacation Bible School.
Our next VBS will take place in the summer of 2012.
The second summer highlight is our
Youth Mission trip. For 2011 we traveled to Boston, Massachusetts,
where we assisted in Boston Urban Outreach efforts, a program of City Mission Society of Boston (CMS). Other opportunities
for our youth include participating in numerous connectional church experiences such as Synod of the
Sun Youth Workshop and Presbyterian Youth Triennium.
F4D also works with our Congregational Life Committee to provide our Wednesday
Night Live evenings which run from September through May. At 6 pm we have dinner in the
fellowship hall. The cost is seven dollars for adults. At 6:30 we have an adult study class
which lasts for one hour. Our choir then rehearses from 7:30 - 9 pm.
We invite
all who are interested to attend our committee meetings and assist us in this important ministry.
Please contact Becki Williams or Laura Robinson, co-moderators of the F4D Committee, or Betty
Weckerly, Director of Christian Formation, for more information regarding any of these offerings.

THRESHOLD adult study - Library (David Batchelder): Our discussion will include anything and everything
that has just taken place in our worship. Perhaps you have questions or comments about the sermon, the scriptures, the music choices, or
something else in the service. THRESHOLD is a time for us to explore the meaning we have just shared in worship, believing that our faith
must be carried with us out the doors and into the world!
