It was a crazy season of saintly smack downs but we ended with one and only one winner at Wayne Church this year! Below is the final update of this season's standings.

YOUNGLIVES BABY BOTTLE CAMPAIGN HAS BEGUN!

The annual Baby Bottle Campaign that runs through Father's Day has begun! Get a bottle, collect change (or write a check) to collect funds for YoungLives which is a local organization who supports Teen moms. Your gift goes to sending kids to camp, purchasing crafts & games, food for Bible studies, or even diapers and wipes. Your gift also helps teen moms hear the Gospel, grow in their faith, receive much needed baby items, have a mentor and learn parenting skills as well as how to study the Bible and pray. A very worthwhile ministry to support!

"Unrevealed Until Its Season" by James C. Howell discusses the power of song to teach spiritual truths. "Hymns embed faith into the marrow of the soul," he writes. In Unrevealed Until Its Season, Howell takes us on a 40-day journey through well-loved hymns. A meaningful Lenten devotional guide for individuals and small groups, Unrevealed Until Its Season is also a valuable resource and perfect gift for musicians as they prepare for worship, and for ministers as they lead worship. Weekly themes include Praising God, Hymns About Jesus, Hymns of Forgiveness, Hymns of Vision, Hymns of Beauty, Hymns of Holy Week, and Hymns of Easter. Howell ponders phrases from old and new hymns, such as "Be Thou My Vision," "Hymn of Promise," "All Creatures of Our God and King," "For Everyone Born," "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing," "Lift High the Cross," and "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." Join us while we unpack these amazing hymns! Questions or want to sign up, please email Cindy Bell via the button below.

The resurrection is the most important moment in history, but it is more than an event we remember on Easter Sunday. Join our Men’s Breakfast group as we journey with J.D. Greear , taking a deeper look at Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection in the Gospel of Matthew, revealing the ways we should see ourselves in Jesus’s story. Contact Pastor Tom below to join in this important study.

A BIG thank you goes out to all of our Children’s Church shepherds for the 2021-22 school year! We couldn’t have run Children’s Church in-person without you! Whether you volunteered once or multiple times this year, our elementary kids and Miss Christine are grateful for your time!
