Linda Taylor to preach at WGBC 2/19/2012

Posted on February 1, 2012 by wgbc63119

Beginning in 2007, Baptist Women in Ministry has invited Baptist churches to participate in Martha Stearns Marshall Month of Preaching by having a woman preach during the month of February. This annual event has been a deeply significant source of joy and discovery for many women and churches.  God does indeed call women to the work of the kingdom.  This year, WGBC invites Linda Taylor to preach on February 19.

Martha Stearns Marshall (1726-1754) was a Separate Baptist preacher in the southern United States. She spread the gospel alongside her husband, Daniel Marshall (1706-84).  She also stood alongside her brother Shubal Stearns (founding pastor of Sandy Creek Baptist Church, N.C.) and spoke at Baptist meetings.

Remembering the Cause

Here are some of the walkers for the M.L.K., Jr. Walk and Celebration.  The walk is from the Webster Grove City Hall to the Steger School.  The Doctor’s “I Have a Dream” speech was played while we walked.  A meal is served the walkers before the program.  Yes, one was still eating when we posed for the picture.

Preservation Fund 70% pledged

Posted on January 1, 2012 by wgbc63119
The trustees have led in the establishment of a $5000 Preservation Fund for a Window and A.C. project in the summer of 2012.  Several have now pledged money in excess of $3,500.  Weekly giving to this fund begins this month.  The church budgets money annually for maintenance and upkeep of our building. Occasionally, our church has needs outside of the budget.
The first item encompasses work on the stained glass windows overlooking the sanctuary and the south lawn. These windows are an important part of our building, and carry inscriptions relevant to the history of the church. The glass and metal work of these beautiful windows is in great condition, but the wood frames are deteriorating where exposed to the elements. To protect these windows, we need to have the woodwork scrapped, treated, and painted. A proposal of $1,500 was provided to the Trustees to have the window frames repaired and painted.
The second item relates to the air conditioning unit serving the south side of the gymnasium, Choir Room, upstairs bathrooms, and offices. The compressor on this unit failed. Crestside Heating and Cooling has quoted $3,500 to repair this unit.
Your contribution, in any amount, will help us continue to provide a safe, comfortable, and attractive place to worship.

Thank You!     Dan Bembower     Member of the Board of Trustees
