WHBC's Got Talent!
If you missed the talent night you missed some great fun. Jerry Burns and Mark Frost MC'd with a steady patter of one liners and funny stories. Musical numbers were mixed in with comedy and a poetry reading to make for a very enjoyable time. We even had a juggler!
After the talent dessert seemed like an anti-climax (and you know how well I like cherry pie and ginger cookies :)
I am looking forward to seeing this on the schedule again, and seeing more of the hidden talents in our church family, and hopefully we will see some of that talent used in ministry during the coming year.

Why I am sold on Sunday Afternoon Visitation
We have had a Sunday afternoon visitation in each of the past three months. In each of those months the Lord has done something as a result.
The first visitation resuted in a fair contact starting to attend the church.
The second visitation resulted in a man asking the Lord to save him, and has been attending since.
Yesterday in the evening service a man was lead to the Lord during the service. Now this man's profession was not directly related to visitation, as the previous two events were, but I believe that the Lord will reward WHBC for our efforts to reach out with the gospel. Even if we do not see direct results from visitation ministries I believe strongly the Lord will give us "souls for our hire".
I want to thank all those who have gone out to visit, even in the cold and snow, and encourage others to make plans to be there next month on the third Sunday!

Happy New Year!
Joan and I want to wish all of you a happy and spiritually prosperous New Year. Our house will still be open for New Year's Eve. I know the weather will be a challenge for some, but for those that feel comfortable driving we will be here and ready to pray in the New Year.
