The WBNH Cookout - A Great Summer Memory!
What a day! We were blessed with beautiful weather and one of our largest crowds ever—around 450 people came out for our family cookout!
A huge thank-you to all of our wonderful volunteers, including the Tremont Boy Scout Troop 84 and the men of Adult & Teen Challenge, for all their hard work with set-up and tear-down. We also want to thank our friends at A to Z Rental in Pekin for the tents and chairs, Pump Up The Fun for the bounce houses, Uncle Bob's for delicious ice cream, and Rob & Marcia Dennis for providing parking! We couldn’t have done it without you!
Most of all, thank YOU for coming and making the day such a special blessing for our community...to God be the glory!
