The church with heart in the heart of the city.

Just Around The Corner...

The Whole Pie How easy it is to miss the point of living. It is too easy to become an algebra pie with [one slice for each part work, family, school, recreation and] only one slice for God. [But] God is the whole pie! Perhaps Gods presence among us is brighter and more extravagant than we have imagined. Perhaps the very idea of life is to experience and discover God in it. Maybe we are meant to journey not only toward God or even for God, but with God.

Memory Verse, Members and Missions

Welcome New Members
Isaiah 61:3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. NIV THE CLOSET Needs Mens long sleeve warm shirts & Childrens Fall/ Winter clothes 1824 mths.

WLBC Praying for...DEAF PEOPLES. Among the Deaf peoples, the Good News is reaching into new places and people are meeting the Son! In Mexico, new leaders are empowered to learn the Word in their heart language; in Europe, the Word is being translated into three languages; in East Asia, nationals are fulfilling the Great Commission; in South Asia, Muslims are asking about the Son; in Southeast Asia, students are starting new groups; and in North Africa, 14 people were baptized! Praise God for what He is doing!

Kids on Marriage 1. How does a person decide whom to marry? No person really decides before they grow up who theyre going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you got to find out later who youre stuck with. (Kirsten, age 10) 2. How can a stranger tell if two people are married? Married people usually look happy to talk to other people. (Eddie, age 6) You might have to guess based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids. (Derrick, age 8) 3. What do you think your mom and dad have in common? Both dont want no more kids. (Lori, age 8) 4. Is it better to be single or married? Its better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need somebody to clean up after them! (Anita, age 9) Single is better ... for the simple reason that I wouldnt want to change no diapers .... Of course, if I did get married, Id figure something out. Id just phone my mother and have her come over for some coffee and diaper-changing. (Kirsten, age 10) 5. What would you suggest to make a marriage work? Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck! (Ricky, age 7)
