WEST END BAPTIST CHURCH 2005 2nd Avenue North, Clanton, AL 35045 Daniel Wilson, Pastor Church Office: (205) 755-0625 - Daycare: (205) 755-6412 Web Site: www.webconline.org E-Mail Address: [email protected] Dear Church Family, I am so blessed to be the pastor of such a wonderful church. As I listened to Brother Shaw preach, God impressed this truth upon my heart - you have been served well by a long succession of good and faithful pastors. In 1996, Bro. Tony Smitherman eloquently articulated our purpose when he said, “We are a church – a center of worship, a place of refuge, a lighthouse in our community.” May West End Baptist Church forever be a place where Almighty God is worshiped, troubled hearts are comforted, and the light of the Gospel shines forth to dispel the darkness of our world. Years earlier, Bro. Cecil Sewell prophetically stated about our church, “We are proud of our beautiful church buildings. Yet our church is not made up of buildings. It is a living church. Its stones are people. The strength of our church lies with them – men, women, children, and youth. In proportion as they give themselves in total commitment to Christ and His way of life will our church be strong.” In the years ahead, will you join me in giving your all and your best to Christ through the work of our church? May we be found faithful by those who come behind us. Joyfully Serving Jesus, Bro. Daniel NOW is the time to order your WHAM Cookbooks. The deadline has been extended, but time is short! Don’t wait! Sign the sheet in the foyer and get your money turned it right away! Books will be ready in late November or early December, Just in time for Christmas. Cost is $25.00 each. Make checks payable to WEBC; please list MISSIONS on the memo line. All proceeds will go to MISSIONS! Operation Christmas Child Shoe Box Ministry Collection begins Sunday, October 19th Pamphlets and other information will be available and on display that day, in the foyer. Always pray! Never give up! Our Lord hears your cries, and He is faithful. The Men of West End All men and boys are invited to join us for the monthly WEBC Men’s Breakfast on Sunday, October 12, at 7:00 a.m. What a wonderful way to begin the new WMU Church Year! We surpassed the Kathleen Mallory offering goal by giving $6,698.00 to Alabama state WMU mission projects. Praise God, He is pouring out blessing after blessing upon us. The mission yard sale will be held Saturday, October 4. Please get your donated items in to the “mission house” by October 2. There’s no time to wait! Yard sale items turn into cash for missions. The medical mission team will be leaving October 9 to partner with the Praying Pelican Missions Organization, on a trip to Belize, in Central America for medical clinic, health education and Vacation Bible School. Those going on this trip are: Ruthie Acton, Joe and Melissa Cole, Sheena Coker and Jessie Gore. Pray for God’s blessings on the team and the people. The World Hunger Offering will be collected on Sunday, October 12. Look for offering envelopes throughout the church. All monies collected will feed hungry people throughout the world. While we eat heartily, many have none. “I was hungry and you fed me.” Matthew 25:35. It’s time to pack a Christmas Shoe Box. Be sure to read your instruction pamphlet first. Each shoe box is a message of love from God to the children of the world. Thank you Mrs. Judy Perkins (the “Doll Lady” and Mr. Joe) and all of the G.A. girls for every doll made. The next Women on Mission meeting is Wednesday night, October 15. Pat Fulford, Director Ladies Prayer Brunch Saturday, October 18 10:00 a.m. West End Baptist Church First of all, let me say thank you to everyone who participated in the Reunion Choir for our 65th Anniversary Celebration! We would love to have you sing with us each and every week. The worship choir is preparing for Christmas and I can’t wait to share the wonderful message of “The Light of Christmas” on December 14. Our handbell choir is going strong, and all of our children will sing in the morning services at some point this month! As I think about all of the generations represented throughout our music ministry, I am reminded of the words of David in Psalm 145:4, “One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts.” I love worshiping with you!

Some ideas to consider: Give the amount of your grocery bill for two weeks, give the amount it would cost your family to go out to a nice restaurant, or give a $1.00 for every time your refrigerator is opened this week. While you were reading this newsletter, an estimated 36 children somewhere in the world died from malnutrition or starvation. What are you willing to do to help? 100% of your gift to World Hunger is used to minister to the hungry in Jesus’ Name.
