Lottie Moon: The nationwide goal for the Lottie Moon Offering for the International Mission Board - National is $150 million. There are more than 350 people groups in West Africa without access to the Gospel. Southern Baptist Missionaries are working to change that, but they can’t do it without your prayers and your giving to the Lottie Moon Christmas offering. Thanks for your generous gifts that allow West Africa’s lost to know the name of Jesus Christ.

Post Office: Thanks for bringing your Christmas cards for WLBC members and placing them in the Lottie Moon Post Office found in the foyer. Your efforts have assisted us in reaching our churchwide Lottie Moon Goal.
