White Lake Congregational United Church of Christ

W.L.C.U.C.C. MISSION STATEMENT

We, the people of the White Lake Congregational United Church of Christ, Whitehall, Michigan, are followers of Jesus Christ and a community of faith and love open to all. We covenant together to love God and our neighbor, to live faithfully through worship, education and stewardship, to grow spiritually as God's people, and to serve God through service to the church, the community and the world.

The purpose of the church is to do mission. Mission is very important part of our church family.

We have a discretionary fund to help those who need money for rent, to pay a bill or gas. Individual members help with "Senior Meals on Wheels".

"WE CARE MINISTRY"
.

"We Care Ministry" is made up of individuals that are willing to reach out to those who are ill, elderly, lonely or distressed. Many of the individuals have attended a six-week course to learn about how to relate to God's people in a special way. After completing the course they are commissioned during worship and assigned to areas of need. "We Care Ministry" meets twice a month during which time they lift up people in prayer. Their ministry is carried through by sending cards, telephoning, providing transportation, visiting those in need, and providing for other needs such as food and clothing.

Prayer, our communication with God and others, plays an important part in worship and the church family. A prayer circle of 8 -10 people pray daily for those members and friends who are in need, whether hospitalized or ill at home, lonely, grieving, or just in need.

Absolutely Everyone is Welcome
