Weekly Happenings
Leadership Transition Website
How in the world will we find our next Senior Pastor? What's the difference between the Transition Team and the Pastor Nominating Committee? How can I voice the qualities that I find important for our next leader? You can find all these answers and more on our new website, WLTNashville.church, which details the whole pastoral transition process. Also on this website, you'll find the visioning covenant, purpose and mission statements guiding the prayerful process of filling Donovan's shoes. You can leave comments and questions on the Feedback page, and its Updates page is where you can watch a video of our last Congregational meeting about the transition, as well as read timely updates on our progress.
Deadline: September 11

Join us for the second time or a second year! 
 
Curious about the Enneagram? Want to grow deeper in relationship with your partner/spouse? This retreat will be both delightful and an opportunity to grow individually and together. Join us for a Friday evening session (including dinner dates) and a Saturday morning session at WPC as we dig deeper into knowing ourselves and our partners.
 
Each person will take a test before the workshop and iEQ9Integrative Enneagram will give each couple their test results. The report is rich with ideas to hear one another better, and deal with differences better. It covers communication, parenting (if applicable), finances, etc. Each couple’s report will be the basis for all that we do during the Friday night and Saturday sessions.
 
We will cover a lot in our time together and the report will be yours to keep and use as it is helpful for you.
 
Led by Sophie Maness and Ashley Higgins.
