April 3 | 11:30 am | Dining Hall
We are delighted to welcome WHPC member, Nancy Douglas as our Speaker!
Nancy's journey from Colorado Springs to Austin in 1985, following Mike's transition from Young Life to become the youth minister at Westlake Hills Presbyterian Church (WHPC), is a testament to faith and adaptability. Arriving with two toddlers and leaving behind a supportive community, the move was initially challenging. Yet, four decades later, their commitment to WHPC has remained steadfast, leading to the blessing of four children and eight Texas-born grandchildren. Nancy eagerly anticipates sharing the ways God has guided her life journey.
This is a fun, relaxed way to meet other women, so please join us and invite a friend. Childcare provided with a reservation. We look forward to connecting with you at the luncheon.

July 5-11 | Alaska
This summer, we’re thrilled to partner with Praying Pelicans Mission for an incredible journey to Alaska! Known for its breathtaking landscapes and welcoming communities, Alaska is a vast land with unique challenges. Home to around 730,000 people, half of whom live in cities like Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau, many Alaskans reside in remote areas only accessible by planes, boats, and ATVs. Despite its natural beauty and vibrant summer tourism, Alaska faces deep struggles, including poverty, homelessness, mental health issues, and addiction. On this mission trip, you’ll team up with local churches, nonprofits, and Christian camps to make a positive impact.
