What a glorious weekend with Don and Kaitie Wenzl family coming forward December 4th, 2016 to officially become part of the family here at WCC. Saturday night December 3rd, they celebrated Terry’s 1st birthday with family and friends in the Fellowship Hall.  That night several friends joined them in the sanctuary where Don and Kaitie were immersed in Christ.  Don and Kaitie have been believers in the Lord Jesus Christ for many years and have been attending WCC for many months.  Sunday morning was also a time for them to publicly declare their desire to raise Terry to the best of their ability to know Jesus as Lord.  We all witnessed their “Parent Consecration” during our worship that Sunday.  We welcome the Wenzl family to the flock!

 

We support the Washington County Ministerial Association and their involvement in the local Jail Chaplaincy Program.   Our Law enforcement officers and jailers are some of the best in the state.  They treat those who end up incarcerated very professionally.  They provide  opportunities for the local chaplains to minister, counsel and help the inmates learn to make better decisions.  We celebrate two men surrendering to the Lord in Christian baptism.   Pray for our law enforcement officers, the jailers and the men and women incarcerated.  Celebrate with us that Justice and Billy were allowed to be baptized July 7, 2016.  Our chaplains currently are: Jim Stark (Pictured left), Rustin McClure (Pictured right), Ron Brown, Judy Hill, and Kevin Wood.  


 

On May 29th, 2016 Holly Keller came forward to surrender her life to Christ in Christian Baptism.  Holly is the daughter of Pam and Kevin Keller.  They have all attended WCC for several years.  It was a happy day for the Keller family.  Congratulations Holly, we are all so proud of you.

 

Easter Services were even more special with several people making decisions to honor God by serving Him in this congregation.  Wil Algee was baptized after the “Son-rise” service and Easter Breakfast.  Wil also came forward during the morning worship to make his confession of faith in Christ as his Lord and Savior.  Congratulations and wise move Wil.

We are happy to have Paul and Dorothy Weisiger come forward to join the flock on Easter morning.  Paul and Dorothy have been attending Sunday School and worship services for several months and live just walking distance from the church facilities.  They have been Christians for many years and we are so glad to have them as part of this flock!
