All Sunday School Class Teachers are asked to attend this very important meeting on Thursday, January 5, 2012, 7:00 pm.
We will meet to discuss the new curriculum and to provide training for teachers.
Since 1997 WMU® has been meeting one of the most basic human needs of missionaries through Pure Water, Pure LoveSM. The goal of this ministry is to provide missionaries and the people they serve with clean drinking water, free from disease-causing microorganisms, at no cost to them.
Over the last several years WFBC WMU has been collecting money and purchasing water filtration devices for this ministry. Each filtration device cost 250.00.
On November 16th, our WMU group submitted funds for another device making a grand total of 9 devices so far.
Big thanks to our WMU ladies for their service and dedication. Big thanks to all who donate and support this cause. Keep up the good work!

Our mission team went to Ohio for a week of ministering with Emmanuel Baptist Church in St. Clairsville, OH. During the week, they constructed a shower trailer, built steps for an elderly couple's home, assisted the church with their VBS and hosted a Back Yard Bible Club.

So thankful for the young people of our church being able to be involved and helpful.
