Update from the Youth....

News from the Youth Group, Just 4 Christ
Hey everyone! Three students attended the Scott Dawson, Strength to Stand Conference in Pigeon Forge, TN over Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend. The theme of the conference was, “Stir the Gift, STIR THE WORLD.” It was based on 2 Timothy 1:6 and spoke volumes.
The students and chaperones were challenged to stir the gift God has given us to effect the world around us. The speakers, Dr. Jay Strack, Jared Herd, David Nasser and Scott Dawson were awesome! We are excited about what God has in store for these students.
At the gospel presentation, it was amazing to watch God work in the lives of not only the students but the adults also. Afterwards we were treated to a concert by Toby Mac. Watching 7,000 students getting crazy for God will do your heart good.
The conference was closed out by Mike Lewis, also known as the Jesus Painter. Mike has an incredible gift that he is using for God’s glory. Are you ready to use your gifts for God?

Cheers for the Children!!!

Last night (after a long weekend of Night in Bethlehem) the Wilton Baptist children's choir presented their Christmas musical/play in grand fashion! Under the direction of Audrey Carpenter, the children sang and protrayed their various roles to a packed sanctuary! How beautiful it was to hear the story of the birth of Jesus Christ through the children! Jesus loved the little children so very much - we are so proud of the WBC group for all their hard work. Praise the Lord for these children and their families!!

To hear the GOOD NEWS from the mouths of children is music to everyones ears!

Anticipation....

December is here and that means NIGHT IN BETHLEHEM is fast approaching. This years production promises to be filled with new experiences and memories to last a lifetime. Imagine stepping back in time and experiencing first hand what that special night might have been like. I can see the evil king plotting for his own purposes, the people traveling to their birthplaces to register with the census taker, the busy marketplace,the smell of the bakery, the tax collector bullying a poor woman, the shepherds keeping watch in the field - scared by the angel who brings the Good News,the animals, the innkeeper turning folks away, the stable where Baby Jesus lays wrapped in swaddling clothes with Mary and Joseph watching him sleep....Oh what a night that must have been!!!

Join us - December 11 and 12th for a hands on family experience! Make this part of your Christmas traditions! Open to the public 6:00 - 9:00 pm - FREE

Community Wide Thanksgiving Service...Oh My!!!

What do you get when you fill a sanctuary with Wilton Bible Baptist, Mount Olive Baptist and Wilton Baptist Church members? You get a visit from the Holy Spirit - Oh my!!!! Oh what a night!!!!! The choir loft was filled to the brim with beautiful voices all under the direction of Wilton's Ron Foster! The WBC youth drama team was flawless - anointed from on high! The Mt Olive singers were fabulous and the crowd was overjoyed with enthusiasm! Austin Foster brought the house down with his special music despite the microphone problems! Bro. Greg delivered the message saying no more and no less that what the Lord wanted him to. THE COMMUNITY OF WILTON WORSHIPPED!!! God was glorified and everyone in attendance was blessed!

In this season of thanksgiving - may we always remember to thank God from whom ALL our blessings flows! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

The Wilton Church van....gets name tagged

Well as most you know, Wilton Baptist Church purchased a 15 passenger van last Sept/Oct and we love it!!! It has been on many church functions with the womens, the children, the youth and the men! However, it was a little plain and lacking in the eyecatching department.

That has changed and now the WBC van is lettered both sides and the back - thanks go to our new pastor, Bro. Greg for his excellent work with the lettering. We are so blessed!!!
