In the sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life,
we commend to almighty God
Rev. Robbie Williams
In sure and certain hope of the resurrection, we share that our good friend Rev. Robbie Williams, one of the preachers at WNC Baptist Fellowship, died last week. Funeral services for Rev. Robbie will be held at WNC Baptist Fellowship this Saturday at 11:00am.
+Rest eternal grant her, O Lord, and light perpetual shine on her+

This June our smallest loan will come due with a balance of $46,000. Instead of the low rates to which we had been accustomed, a renewal of this loan would right now come with a 6.5% interest rate. Rather than use the funds entrusted to our congregation to pay interest, our congregation council and finance team would very much like to free up funds for active ministry. Can you help us lose this loan and avoid committing to years of further payments? | | |

What's this series all about? | |
This Lent, check out our new video series Ground Floor Faith, where we deal with some of the grounding questions of faith in the time that it takes to ride our elevator to the ground floor. These short videos will be posted every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during Lent on our Facebook, Instagram, TikTok (new!) and YouTube accounts. | |

Literacy for Lent
Lenten Offering
The offering during Lent will go to support Literacy Together. Literacy Together (formerly The Literacy Council of Buncombe County) was created in 1986 as a merger of two leading adult literacy organizations – Altrusa of Asheville and the Asheville-Buncombe Literacy Council. Since our beginning over 35 years ago, they have continued to grow programming and expand our reach to meet the literacy and English language needs of people of all ages in Buncombe County.
| |
There are four separate programs: Adult Literacy, English for speakers of other languages, Youth Literacy (K to 5), Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. Find our more here! | | |
