Thank you for helping this project in its 35th year!

WLBC Praying for GURAGE OF ETHIOPIA Last month workers entered areas that were previously untouched with the Good News because they are hard to reach. While there, they provided disaster relief for recent house-fire victims and veterinary care for their animals. They prayed with people, told Bible stories and shared the truths of the Gospel. Pray that the Holy Spirit will use these encounters to convince hearts of the truths of the Gospel and that cultural obstacles that have prevented people from following Jesus will no longer bar the way.

Many times we are asked, Who is my deacon? To help you, we will list the Deacon of the Week and his list of families in the WLBC Bulletin ENewsletter. There will be a complete list posted on the bulletin board near the church office. This complete list is alphabetical by your last name. We hope this will help you know who your deacon is for the year. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the church office.

Bible Quiz Complete this proverb from the Bible: Better is a dinner of vegetables where love is A. than a silver platter of meat and unresolved anger. B. than a fatted ox and hatred with it. C. than a prepared bird and family bickering. D. All of the above. (See Proverbs 15:17, NRSV.)

Silver Lining Burned your turkey to a crisp? Dont despair! Craig Boldman and Pete Matthews, authors of Every Excuse in the Book (Mjf Books), offer reasons to be thankful for a blackened bird: Youll get a good upper-body workout from carving the bird. No one will get food poisoning from undercooked poultry. You can move straight to dessert. You wont have to deal with weeks of leftovers. Pets wont pester you for scraps. It was time to test your smoke alarm anyway.
