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!!!

Workday Saturday Nov 21st....

The preparation continues for our annual Night in Bethlehem hands on experience for the whole family. Below are pictures taken this past Saturday morning! I cant tell you enough what a blessing it is to have such dedicated folks working for the Lord! Young and old alike, we enjoyed the day and working in harmony all giving glory to God from whom ALL blessings flow!

Still time to join in the fun - Night in Bethlehem is only two weeks away!!!

Night in Bethlehem preparation

Below are just a few shots of the work that goes into designing, building, publicising and preparing for our annual Night in Bethlehem production....Thanks to everyone who is helping with this major outreach event. You will be amazed at how it looks on opening night!

This was last Thursday's work night....

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!!!

Choir Rehearsal.. join us!

Wilton Baptist Church is so very fortunate to have Ron Foster (WZZK Southern Gospel Jubliee on early Sunday mornings) as our minister of music. Ron and Kim and their son Austin all sing beautifully. Austin plays the keyboards at every service jointly with Margie Hatcher our pianist. The music at Wilton is mixture of contemporary praise and worship songs along side the beautiful hymns that we have all grown up with. You have to come hear it to believe it!!!

As you can see from the pictures here -we have a great looking group of choir members with wonderful voices and energy! Join us - we would love to have you. We practice every Sunday afternoon at 5:00. Trust me - you will be blessed by it!!!



We are currently working on our Christmas Cantata which will be performed December 20th, 2009 during the AM worship service....Make your plans to join us!!!
