Happy Birthday America!

This weekend our nation celebrates 250 years! It's a meaningful and historic time to reflect on our heritage and the wonderful blessings we share as American citizens—from the freedom of speech to the freedom of worship. Yet, we are most grateful for the ultimate freedom found in Jesus Christ, who delivers us from sin and death. Scripture assures us that “if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36). As you gather for parades and fireworks, we pray your weekend is filled with thankfulness for both our nation and the Savior who gives us lasting freedom.

We also invite you to listen to "Rooted In Faith: America's 250-Year Journey." Featuring a message from Billy Graham, we'll explore how God has worked in the life of our nation—and how He wants to work in your life today! Tune in this Friday, July 3 @ 8pm & Saturday, July 4 @ 2pm on WBNH.

Brunch Anyone?

As we celebrate America's 250th birthday, we'd like to try something special with you... a patriotic brunch called, "United We Brunch!" It will be Thursday, July 16th from 10am-Noon and will feature classic brunch favorites, fresh coffee, other refreshing drinks, giveaways, and more... all with a patriotic flare! We would be so honored and blessed if you could join us... please RSVP here to help us plan for food, and God Bless the USA!

Cookout Time! Let's Fellowship!

Mark your calendar! Our WBNH Cookout will be Saturday, August 29 from 10:30am-1:30pm. Come have lunch with us! It’s our way of saying "thank you" to our Listening Family and an opportunity to invite new friends to see what God is doing through WBNH. There will be bounce houses, games, prizes, food, fellowship and more! Spread the word and plan to join us! RSVP here to help us plan, or better yet be a volunteer!

And again this year, we invite you to bring items for Operation Christmas Child to our cookout! Things could include small toys, hygiene items, school supplies and more… for gift suggestions click here.

Thank you Lifts of Illinois

Special thank you to Jay and the team at Lifts of Illinois (Roanoke) who donated a chair lift for the WBNH basement! This will allow us to utilize our basement for more WBNH and community events such as mailings, meals, Bible studies, seminars and other gatherings... we greatly appreciate you, Lifts of Illinois!
