Each fall as the school year begins, and many churches begin their fall schedule, we like to present the various mission projects that we, together, are supporting for the year. Already, our contributions have helped fund women speakers for the YC'09 Youth Convention in Colorado, and supported Liz Christenson and the Mission Impact ‘09 project for North American Missions. Look for updated photos on our website www.wmclb.com. Join us in supporting these projects during this school year!
