WCBA: We are so thankful that 33 of our churches have submitted their Annual Church Profile information. You guys are amazing! The deadline to submit these was Friday, September 12th, so that we can get all of this information entered prior to the annual meeting in October. If there is any way we can help with these, please let us know! The Annual Meeting is October 18th @ Bethlehem @ 8:30 am. Breakfast is at 7:30 am. Please RSVP for breakfast by October 10th. No RSVP is needed to attend just the meeting and all are welcome to see what our association has been up to this past year. The next Disaster Relief certification class is October 25th in Jackson. Details can be found at https://tndisasterrelief.org/event. Our January mission trip to Oaxaca, Mexico is January 24th-31st. Deadline to submit applications for this is October 15th due to various background checks, references, and trainings that need to take place before the trip. We have just signed up with CarePortal to work with Weakley County DCS as a way to get local churches and the community involved in meeting the needs of local families. Please stay tuned for further information on this.
