Current E-Blast Announcements - April 7 || Current Newsletter April 2021 - 4.1

Welcome to the WCB Ministry and Ministry Center

Webster-Claiborne and Bienville Associations are composed of 60 churches committed to reaching our world for Christ. The Great Commission appearing below, taken from Matthew 28:18-20, provides our orders. We seek to obey our Lord's command thus introducing our world to Jesus Christ

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20 NIV

Our churches are both different and the same. While one church is found at the end of a beautiful, winding, country lane, another is found on main street in the center of town. Some are small, others large. Some are filled with "city-folk", the others filled with "country-folk". Although different in many ways, they are all committed to the Lord Jesus Christ and seek to bring our world to Him.

Thirty-five churches in Webster and Claiborne parishes form the Webster-Claiborne Association. Twenty-five churches in Bienville parish form the Bienville Association. While these two associations have their own officers and ministries, they also share many cooperative ministries as well. The common thread that brings these churches together is the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention. This is a voluntary giving program in which churches combine their strengths to support mission causes around the world. Together these churches support missions through the North American Mission Board, International Mission Board, Louisiana Baptist Convention, and local Associational Missions.

Youth Ministry Teams, This is an exciting time for Bienville and Webster-Claiborne Baptist Associations, we are going to embark on some Youth ministry that is much more impacting than what we have been doing, because we are going to do it together. You, Me, and everyone else in Youth Ministry in our associations are going to team up and get some really cool things accomplished in Jesus Name. Monday, April 12th… @6pm we are going to take over the Mission Center in Minden and put our heads together. A meal will be provided, and if need be maybe Randy can get the game on in the background… (if that is what is holding you back). I need you all to be there, because I want to hear your ideas and vision for changing the game in Youth ministry for our associations. This meeting is the first step to that change. We will be planning some big things that will stretch across our associations and Parishes so please attend if at all possible. I need to know who is going to be a part of this team. If you have an extreme emergency that keeps you from the meeting, but would like to be involved in future planning, please let me know at harryo.2237@gmail.com. I am so Excited about what God has planned for us this year. See you at 6pm on Monday!!
