Letter from Dr. Barry Howard

September 22, 2020

Dear Wieuca Family:

Several years ago when I heard Art Linkletter speak at the National Senior Adult Convention, he said, “If you don't go far enough back in memory or far enough ahead in hope, your future will be impoverished.” Here at Wieuca, we are committed to treasuring the past and embracing the future.

Yesterday was an exciting and memorable day for the Church at Wieuca as we made several important decisions for the coming year and for the future of our congregation. In addition to affirming our ministry budget, deacons, new committee members, and new Church Council members, we voted overwhelmingly to approve the recommendation presented to us last month by the Strategic Implementation with the affirmation of the Church Council.

We affirmed a ministry budget for 2021 of $2,177,402. If we each give faithfully and generously, giving in proportion to our blessings, we can make great strides toward this budget goal. One of the real indicators of church health is that God’s people prioritize giving through the church to support God’s work in our community and around the world.

Those affirmed to serve as new deacons this year are Lauratine Brannon, Grace Freeman, Joan Gregory, Marlee Henry, Chris Hoover, and Steve Ray. Those elected as new members of the Church Council members are Anne Cross, Amy Gibbs, and Steve Henley. Welcome aboard to these and all our new committee members. I look forward to serving alongside you as we work to strengthen and expand the ministries of Wieuca.

Beginning today, we are transitioning our web site, our social media pages, and our temporary signage to the Church at Wieuca.  We welcome you to begin inviting your friends and neighbors who are not connected another local church to join us for worship at the Church at Wieuca.

However, we ask that other parts of the SIT proposal remain confidential within our church family until the negotiations and details are complete. Then we will be excited to begin sharing this information with our friends and neighbors

As we look forward to “the good ole days that are yet to come,” here are a few highlights and reminders for you this week:

·       This Sunday I will be sharing an encouraging word about “Bringing Your ‘A’ Game” (Colossians 3:17). Invite a friend or neighbor to join us in-person or online at www.wieuca.org or on our church Facebook page.

·       Our church office is currently open on Monday through Thursday for appointments only. Because we do not have volunteers or a receptionist managing the front desk at this time, please call ahead to schedule any on-campus meetings. For all on-campus gatherings, please plan to wear a facial covering, and call the staff person with whom you are meeting once you arrive in the parking lot so they can meet you at the door.

·       Disaster Relief Offering: As we pray for those affected by Hurricane Laura and Hurricane Sally, you can help assist in their recovery by making a financial contribution. Make your check payable to Wieuca Road Baptist Church and designate your check or online gift to “disaster relief.”

·       During September our prayer focus is “Pray for Our Schools.” Join us in praying for the students, teachers, administrators, and staff at the schools across our area.

·       Wednesday Night Live: WNL has started back via Zoom on Wednesday evenings.. We will also have an exciting "Selfie Scavenger Hunt in Buckhead" on September 27th! For more details check out  http://wieuca.org/kidstown.

·       Our Prayer Team is meeting faithfully every two weeks to pray for our church, our city, our surrounding community, and many other needs. If you would like to join the Prayer Team please contact Pamela or Gene Hayes at hayeseugene755@gmail.com.

·       Thank you for your faithful stewardship. Your generous giving will fuel our ministries as we come to the conclusion of this fiscal year. Let’s finish the year strong! You can give via our online portal at www.wieuca.org, by electronic draft from your bank, by texting GIVE to 404.620.3773, or by mailing your check to 3626 Peachtree Rd NW, 30326.

·       Next Sunday we will host a Farewell Parade for Tiffany Burch. The parade will begin following worship and last until 1 p.m. We are grateful for the time Tiffany has shared with us and we will continue praying for her as transitions to Virginia to continue her doctoral studies at Howard University.

Make sure and check the church web site at www.wieuca.org for additional information and updates.

In describing how his faith shaped his philosophy of life, Art Linkletter offered the following counsel: Do a little more than you're paid to. Try a little harder than you want to. Aim a little higher than you think possible, and give a lot of thanks to God for health, family, and friends.

I am honored to serve as your pastor we unlock the treasures of Wieuca.

Barry
