Posted January 16, 2020 |
The following thank you is from Phil and Debbie Smith with Wee Can Know. They included it in a recent email, along with their January Update.
The Wee Can Know ministry is off to a good start in 2020, with new and exciting opportunities. We are so grateful for your help and for representing us to White Bluff. My friend, Alfie, is busy making bracelets for Mardi Gras and the follow-up parade in April. That is just one of the many ways White Bluff helps us reach children with the Gospel.

What We've Done
More Musical Talent on Display at Chapel Services
Posted January 16, 2020
A wealth of special music has been recently added to WBC's recent worship services, highlighting a variety of talented resources to tap. To open the January 5 service, the three grandsons of Jim and Pat Griffin, Jude, James and Joel, performed a medley of Christmas carols on two violins and a cello. The three have previously performed for the Chapel, as well.
Two Chapel members who fairly regularly perform as vocal soloists, Patti Moreland and Jeff Williams, separately contributed their talent to embellish the beauty of the season. Choir member Moreland provided the featured solo during the choir's December 29 special anthem, while Williams, on another Sunday, provided a touching arrangement of the song, "Somebody's Praying," accompanying himself on the guitar.
Debbie Hamner also returned to the WBC dais recently to add her flute accompaniment to the piano embellishments of Paula Campbell for the January 12 choir performance of “Beautiful Savior.”
Any time special musical performances are featured, should anyone take a picture, please send a copy of the photo to Bill Burris at aceburris42@gmail.com so it can be included on the website. The last time the website highlighted a musical performance, it was the quartet of flutists and Mike Miller was kind enough to send a picture he had managed to take.
