Dear WCN Family,
belong. believe. become.
You sent thirty people to San Pedro de Poas, Costa Rica for nine days. Eleven men. Fourteen women.
Five teenagers. We partnered with a local church in the rural mountains, assisting them in building their
church building. We did electrical, sheetrock, bending and setting rebar, pouring concrete, laying block,
placing sod, plumbing, and stucco. We spent a half day in a public school doing children’s ministry. We
connected with the children, acted out a Bible story, shared the gospel, sang with them, and worked on
crafts with them. Our teens participated in two teen events with teens from the local church and the
surrounding community. We took sports equipment for the church’s sports ministry to their community.
We delivered several bags of audio/visual equipment to the Nazarene Seminary in Central America to
be distributed throughout several countries for pastoral education. We enjoyed two worship services
with the good people of the church. We grew closer as a group. We made new friends despite
language barriers. Those who attended are Terry Langston, Jane Langston, Billy Rudolph, Janice
Rudolph, Pastor Daron Brown, Pastor Matt Alexander, Trina Alexander, Pastor Daniel Hawks, Pastor
Dani Hawks, Don McGuire, Jenny Allison, Elizabeth Allison, Ellen Moran, Betty Hamm, Mike Turner,
Nikki Sain, Brityn Sain, Cory Oakley, Frankie Oakley, Mary Forester, Kelsey Elliott, Ray Davis, Emily
Davis, Nicole Winstead, Alana Dotson, Robin May, Frank Fitzgerald, Jan Fitzgerald, Jack Fitzgerald,
and Ricky Walters.
Thirty people did the going. But many more people did the sending, praying, funding, resourcing,
donating, encouraging, and supporting. The trip was not just about 30 people. It took the obedience of
our whole church to make it happen. On behalf of the 30 who went, we thank you. When Jesus sent 72
people on a mission trip, Luke says they “returned with joy” (Luke 10:17). This Wednesday night
(October 22) is our opportunity to return and report with joy. All Wednesday night Immerse groups will
gather in the sanctuary. We will see a full video of the trip. And you will hear from the team about their
experiences. Come let them tell you what God did in them and through them. The time is 6pm instead
of 6:30pm.
Rebekah Scribner, Diane Davis, Ray Davis, Adriana Batchelder, and Katie
Brown spent a morning in Cathy Curtis’s flower beds. Cathy isn’t able to keep
them up. Brian’s time is filled with work and caring for Cathy. You don’t have
to leave the country to serve others in the name of Jesus. There are plenty of
opportunities down the road.
WCN has more children’s Bible quizzers than ever. Fourteen boys and girls
are learning the book of Exodus. Nine of the fourteen are first time quizzers.
The season opened in September. Sophie Oakley, Dylan Gwin, and Brianna
Gwin won silver. Karlee Hedin, Karson Hedin, Parker Brown, Jaiden Cochran,
and Malakai Cochran won gold. Parker Forester and Mateo Batchelder won
gold and had a perfect round each. Scotty Worcester won gold and received a
memory verse award. Kalob Hedin was a gold all star. Addison Philpott and
Kendall Brown were gold all stars with one perfect round each.
Come to the Waters is an introduction to WCN. CTW will take place one week
from Sunday, November 2 from 4-7pm in the Discovery Zone, which is the red
block building next door. If you are new to WCN or if you would like to hear
more about who we are, we welcome you to join us. Please RSVP with
Kathryn in the church office as soon as possible. We will feed you.
Our fall workday was held last Saturday. Thanks to the fifty people who
worked and cleaned around our facilities and grounds. Thanks to Greg Field
for purchasing and grilling chicken for those who worked. If you were unable to
come and would like to help on your own time, please contact Kathryn in the
church office.
This Sunday is our annual Homecoming. Dr. Nina Gunter will preach. Dr. Nina
began her ministry at WCN in 1957 when she was a Trevecca student. Since
then she has served the church around the globe in a multitude of ways
including four years as General Superintendent. Dr. Nina is an outstanding
leader and preacher. The morning service schedule will be as usual. After the
11am service we will gather in the Discovery Zone for a Homecoming meal.
Bring food. Bring lots of food. There will be no Sunday night services.
In the summer of 1998 I had my last first date. I took Katie Klosterman to
Gambucci’s Italian Restaurant and to a Kansas City Royals baseball game.
Gambucci’s has since closed down. The Royals, on the other hand, are
thriving. After a 29 year drought, it’s fun to watch the Royals excel. I like their
style of ball. I like the fact that they don’t have a monstrous payroll, yet they
are eliminating teams that have monstrous payrolls. I like their energy and
their spirit. The Browns are feeling Blue these days.
On behalf of Pastor Matt, Pastor Dani, Pastor Daniel, and our families, we
express our thanks to you for Pastor Appreciation. We thank you for the cards,
hugs, prayers, gifts, and encouragement. We thank you for moving with us.
We thank the church board for the extra week of salary for each of us. We are
loved. We know it.
