Message from the Front Desk: Have you ever walked into the church and smelled something delicious baking? In my new position at the front desk, I have the wonderful privilege of enjoying all the yummy smells coming out of the kitchen on a regular basis (once in a while I even get a free taste!) If you haven’t noticed yet that we have an Awesome Kitchen Team here at WRBC, please take note! We have 44 people who are involved in our weekly Come To The Table ministry on Wednesday nights and many others who love to bake goodies and help prepare food in our kitchen for our many events around WRBC. These dedicated volunteers spend time preparing the food on Tuesday or Wednesday and then serving it to our church family and guests on Wednesday nights. Great conversation happens around the table and friendships are formed and strengthened. If you haven’t experienced this yet, make sure to join us some Wednesday night. I just wanted to point out that we could not have this important ministry if we did not have such amazing volunteers. I hope you will take a minute to thank them, pray for them and encourage them in any way you can. If you are interested in becoming part of this awesome team, contact the church office or Pastor Doug.
Update from Lead Pastor Search Team
The Lead Pastor Search Team continues to meet regularly to refine the next steps in the search process as we await the resume that matches our needs. We have had a few applicants, but none so far that warranted additional follow-up. Please continue to pray for the person that God is preparing to send us as our next Lead Pastor, that they would see our job posting and be inspired to send us their resume. Pray for the Search Team, that we would receive God’s wisdom in evaluating each application as they are received, and to have the faith and patience to wait for the ONE whom we believe God is preparing for us.
Thank you for your patient perseverance as we pray through this journey together.
