HOW DO I BECOME A MEMBER?

1. Present yourself for membership during any worship service

when the invitation is given.

2. Express your desire for membership through one of the following

means:

• Profession of faith and believer’s baptism by immersion: If you

have never received Jesus as Savior and Lord and/or never

publicly confessed Him, you will be given the opportunity to

do so.

• Transfer membership from another Southern Baptist Church.

• By statement of faith: If you have previously made a

profession of faith and have had believer’s baptism by

immersion, we will be happy to receive you.

3. Attend West Conroe Membership Class This happens on the first

Sunday of every month at 9:30am in HomePointe. You will hear

Happy New Year!

2013 has sped by at lightning speed. It is hard to believe

that 2014 is here! I praise God for what we have seen Him do

in the past twelve months. We have seen West Conroe grow in

both number and spirit. God has blessed us with a great year

financially. We added a new Executive Pastor, a Student

Ministry Associate, and a Missions Associate. A new 7,500

square foot education building was completed and is almost

entirely paid for. God used us in a record number of mission

projects. We celebrated 49 new believers as we watched

them follow the Lord in baptism. I am so thankful to be a part

of this church family. Now we look forward to see what He will

do among us this year!

Bethlehem City Celebration – January 12!

If you served in Bethlehem City on any team, you need to

be at the celebration. It will be held at 5:00 in the Student

Ministry Building starting with BBQ for dinner. Following dinner,

we’ll share stories of BC and some special surprises as we

celebrate what God did this year. If you have not already

signed up during Bethlehem City, please call Brenda in my

office and let her know how many will be coming.

Congratulations Brenda Arnold!

January 1, 2014 marked the 20th anniversary of Brenda’s

tenure on staff. When I came to West Conroe, she was serving

both the music and pastoral offices. For the last 10 years she

has served as my assistant and office manager. There is not a

member or guest of West Conroe that has not been served in

some way by Brenda. She not only is highly skilled, she also has

an intuitive sense about what things need to be done that

haven’t been thought about. I believe at times she can read

my mind! I thank God for her ministry, and I know you do, too.

We will recognize her in both services on Sunday, January 19,

and have planned a special reception at 3pm in the Garden

Room that afternoon.
