I would like to invite you to join with your Baptist brothers and sisters from around the state in a special four-part WVBC Family Virtual Celebration, which will premiere October 13, 2020.
It would be easy to think that ministry during this pandemic has been paused. However, as you will hear in the celebration, God has been very active working in and through His people who together make up the WVBC family of churches! Now is the perfect time to celebrate God’s goodness and guidance as we as a Convention family strive in this unusual season to find new and creative ways to “Do Christ’s Work Together!” As the words of the great hymn of the faith written by Fanny Crosby proclaim, “To God be the glory, great things He hath done!”
Richest of Blessings,
Mike Sisson
