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.
