Thank You for Celebrating with Us!

Thank you for celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus with us on Sunday! 


What a day of celebration and worship. I want to thank you for several things. First, thank you for being here, worshiping, and participating in the life of the church. Second, thank you for inviting friends, family, and neighbors. We had one of the largest-attended Sundays in recent memory. Third, thank you for parking off campus. We needed almost all the additional parking we had, especially during our 9:30 worship and Sunday school window. 


God is at work. We’re talking with people weekly who are making decisions regarding Christ, church, and following him. Keep praying, inviting, and if you are able, keep parking away. This Wednesday night, we will begin a three-week series (April 23, 30, May 7) through the Song of Songs, addressing marriage, relationships, and intimacy. You will not want to miss our adult Bible study time as we work through this important topic.


Grace and peace,

Pastor Chris

Church Family, You will receive a letter this week from the Minister of Music Search Committee officially introducing our candidate for Minister of Music. In the coming weeks, you will see a video introduction as well as have the opportunity to meet the candidate. Please continue to pray for WBC during this process of introduction, presentation, and vote. I want to say a special thank you to the Minister of Music Search Committee (Michelle Sullivan, Chair; LuAnn Love; Alisa Anderson; Molly Nichols; Terry Carroll; Larry Gray; Brandon Johnson). We are grateful for the work of Shepherd Staffing as well for providing us candidates and searching on our behalf. And now a brief word for our members/attenders. Spring is always a busy season with the end of school, year end programming for church events, sports, holidays, and preparation for summer events, trips, and schedules. We calendar and plan for what is important to us. Think trips, graduations, vacations, important meetings, etc. Don’t let the busyness of the season or of your life push God off of your calendar. If you share a family calendar, how about putting several things on your calendar for the next couple of months: Sunday AM worship services, Member Meeting May 18 at 5:30 PM. We need the rhythms of worship (see the Sabbath commandment in Exodus 20), rest (Gen. 1; Hebrews 4), and community (Acts 2:42-47). Hope to see you and worship with you this week! Grace and Peace, Pastor Chris
