THANK YOU!
Dear WBPC friends,
Thank you all for the kind words of congratulations and for all the cards and gifts to celebrate our engagement! Even though James is a new face to many, he felt so welcomed and we both felt incredibly celebrated. We are so grateful to the Worship Committee members who took time and effort to make it such a beautiful occasion, and to all who helped make it such a fun and memorable celebration. Thank you for your kindness and generosity!
-Elizabeth Davis and James Everhart
RECAP OF THE 225TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE PCUSA

UPDATE ON FELLOWSHIP HALL
As we shared a couple of weeks ago, we experienced a flood in the Fellowship Hall earlier this month when an exterior drain became clogged. The Property Committee has been working on getting the room dried out and working on our next steps. The Session met last night to approve the expenditure of $22,000 for this project, which includes the remediation and removal of all the original asbestos tiles, many of which came loose and curled up from the water, and the installation of a new vinyl-plank floor. These funds will come from our operating reserves, and will be paid back through the Capital Improvement Fund. This amount is after we have received payment from our insurance company for the claim. The tile removal is scheduled to begin August 16, and the floor installation is scheduled for August 27. If you would like to learn more or help with this project, please contact Larry Shelton (919-795-4099; lsheltonnc@gmail.com). We thank you for your continued patience and support during this time, and we look forward to having the Fellowship Hall back in use very soon!
CALLED CONGREGATIONAL MEETING - AUGUST 7
The Session has called a congregational meeting for Sunday, August 7, at the conclusion of the morning worship service for the purpose of electing the Church Officer Nominating Committee for 2022. Those who have agreed to serve include: Art Chard, Denise Weeks, Martha Barrick, Bobby Simpson, and Judy Shelton. Nominations may be made from the floor. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Frank Mansell or Art Chard.
