FWC ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETINGMay 16 at 6:00pm
What is our annual business meeting?
It’s a Concert of PrayerIt’s a Celebration of WorshipIt’s a Conference to select our leadersIt’s a Connection for the fellowship
This won’t be the typical boring, stuffy church business meeting. We are going to join together to celebrate what God is doing among us by singing, worshipping and praising God. We are going to join together in a concert of prayer to seek God’s direction and blessing for our church. We’ll hear exciting testimonies of God’s power in the lives of our people, and we’ll select our leaders for the coming year.
This is a time for our entire church family—members, as well as non-members. You may wonder why you should come if you aren’t a member of the church. Here’s why—you’ll get to see who our new leaders are; we value your prayers during the evening so that the voting will reflect God’s will; and you’ll get to hear from the different pastors and ministry leaders what is happening in the life of the church. In addition we are going to give a preview of our exciting fall kick off, coming in September.
Registration for members at the door. Worship begins at 6.
