We are so excited to welcome Jamie as our new Director of Youth. Jamie will be working primarily with our high school youth group, Servants, but will also spend time with our confirmation and church school children. Jamie will also participate in worship and other church activities throughout the year. We are planning a special reception to welcome Jamie this fall, but we hope that you will take the time to introduce yourself to him when you are here this summer. Here is a little about
Jamie: Please welcome Jamie as he joins us in ministry! He can be reached at youth@wcc-joinus.org or extension 27.

All Golfers Welcome Mark your calendars: On Friday, August 27th, golfers
of all ages and most skill levels are invited to participate in the 8th annual
WCC Mixed Golf Event. (That means men and women can play, with or without
spouses.) To accommodate player and television network demand,
we have scheduled the event on a Friday afternoon. Hootie Johnson, who has been
invited to act as official starter for the past several years, has not returned
phone calls. The event will take place at Winnetka Golf Club, with
tee times starting at 2 pm. We’ll finish up with beer and pizza and the telling
of tales. All members and friends of WCC and our Covenant Groups are welcome.
Call the church office (Char at 847-441-3400, ext. 10) to reserve your place in
this 18-hole fellowship opportunity. With limited space available, you’ll want
to call as soon as possible.

We Have An Appointment! Rev. Mueller also has an
ecclesiastical endorsement as a pastoral counselor by his denomination’s General
Board of Higher Education and Ministry. This enables him to be appointed to
Winnetka Congregational Church as well as to his position as Adjunct Professor
at Loyola University Chicago: Graduate School of Social Work. As of this past June’s Annual Conference, Rev. Mueller
has been reappointed by Bishop Hee-Soo Jung to Winnetka Congregational Church as
well as to Loyola.
As you may know, our Associate Pastor,
William Mueller, is a clergy member of the United Methodist Church (since 1976).
Hence, he is accountable to his local bishop of the Northern Illinois Annual
Conference who appoints clergy to their various ministries. This is typically
done annually in June and includes appointments to local churches as well as to
extension ministries.

Become a Career Resource Center Board Member
Current Career Resource
Center Board members know with certainty that their volunteer service is making
a crucial difference to job seekers in Lake and Cook Counties. CRC, located in
Lake Forest, has already aided over 10,500 individuals over its 20 year history.
In addition to being passionate about the mission of empowering job seekers,
these board members also enjoy the dividend of befriending fellow board members
who are engaging, talented, and networked.
CRC, a nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization, has a track record
of attracting effective board members who energetically apply their areas of
expertise to overseeing the governance of the organization and assisting in
outreach and donor liaison efforts. The Center is supported by your
congregation, corporations, foundations, townships, United Way plus benefactors
and alumni. Currently, CRC’s Nominating
Committee is seeking and interviewing candidates. The Board is especially
interested in candidates who possess legal, financial, and operations skill
sets. CRC looks for ‘roll-up-your-sleeves-and-do-it’ individuals who have
demonstrated leadership in their work, community, club, or religious
organizations. Past and current board members have credentials including:
corporate management, public relations, sales, business development, marketing,
and community service leadership. If you would like to discuss how you can serve on the
board, CRC looks forward to hearing from you. A tour of the Center, meetings
with current board members and ample Q&A sessions characterize CRC's way of
getting to know potential board members. For more information, contact Jan
Leahy, Executive Director at 847.295.5626 or
