VISITATION – WBC’s Congregational Care ministry (visitation outreach) is always in need of members willing to go out into the community to visit other members, including our homebound members. They reach out to those who have visited our church, and they spread God’s Word into the community. If you are interested in being a part of this ministry, please call the church office at 228-588-3356.
THE LOTT FAMILY – Thank you all for your concern and prayers for Pastor Brannon and his family as they prepare for his stem cell transplant in December. Many of you have asked how you could minister to them during this time. Above all, please continue to pray for Brannon, Ally, Eli, Jase, and Emma!
If you feel led, you may also donate to the “Brannon Lott Benefit Account” at Singing River Federal Credit Union to help with the expenses of this process. Donations can be made to this account at any branch of the credit union. This account is open for anyone to give, so feel free to spread the word to others in our community if they wish to donate. We are well aware that Brannon and Ally’s ministry and lives reach well beyond the walls of Wade Baptist Church.
As an additional option, donations can also be turned in at the church and we will deposit you. Checks must be made out to Brannon or Ally Lott. Cash must be in an envelope and marked for the Lott family, as well. These donations will be given directly to the benefit account and will not be reflected on your contribution statements you receive from the church.
Thank you & God bless!
