2023 Reveals Exciting Developments
- Dr. Marc Mortensen
Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
Psalms 85:6
2023 holds some very significant changes for the ministries of First Baptist Church of Westwood Lake, Westwood Christian School, and Circle C Youth Ranch.
After a three year delay we are moving forward with plans to erect our new church sanctuary. This new facility will house our worship center for all of our church services, school chapels, graduations, concerts, and plays. In addition to the worship center, there will be an adjacent educational wing for school classrooms. On Wednesday, January 11th, 2023 we will meet with the Kendall Community Council members to obtain permission to begin construction. We are praying that once approved, we can break ground in 2023 and begin construction by some time in the fall. Please pray with us that the community council will grant us permission to begin construction.
First Baptist Church and Westwood Christian School will begin the new year with Revival Services from January 8-13. Evangelist Aaron Coffey and his team will help us start the New Year off right! Aaron is a wonderful speaker and the musicians are great. The team will be sharing daily in chapels and evening services. The evening services will start at 7:00 p.m. and will include a separate service for the children. Friday's evening service will be an Irish concert! Invite your friends and co-workers to come: it will be a great way to introduce them to church. We ask that you begin praying now for God to work in our church and school so that we will see fruit in our lives.
My prayer is that 2023 will be a time where we discover that personal change is something we can experience as we put our faith and trust in the God who has the power to change us. God bless you as you seek to please the Lord with your walk and talk.
