Warner Baptist Homecoming Day: Celebrated in a traditional southern Black church manner

        Homecoming Celebration on Sunday, July 9, 2017

The morning service attendees included current members, former members, families, friends and visitors.

The morning sermon was preached by Pastor Matthew J. Pearson.

After the morning service the congregation was invited to stay and have dinner in the dining hall.

They were treated to an old fashion country meal that included fried and baked chicken, ham, potato salad, green beans, cake, pie and lots more.

Amon Saunders provided an extra treat. Fried fish that he cooked under the tent outside.

Reverend Philip Lewis, pastor of Mount Pisgah Baptist Church in Upperville, Virginia was the preacher for the afternoon service.  He was accompanied by one of his church's choirs and several members.

The choir rendered an array of good ole fashion hymns, the kind that make you feel like you have been to church, for the service.

Reverend Lewis used Luke 4:16-30 for scripture.  His text was "Responding to Grace"

He preached about how Jesus hometown folks praised him in the beginning of this meeting but before the meeting ended, they turned against him.  Why? Well, they didn't like what he was talking about.  (Read the scripture).

Rev Lewis urged the congregation not to put their trust in their deeds and good works, instead put their trust in Jesus and God's grace.

In summary, trust in Jesus and his grace because He can do for you what nobody else can do.

Deaconess Regina Crawley was the worship leader.

Deaconess Shirley Saunders and WBC's cooking ministry prepared and served the meal.

Vacation Bible School 2017 deemed exceptional at Warner Baptist

Article 2 Volume 7                                                                                              June 24, 2017

Vacation Bible School 2017

The 2017 Vacation Bible School (VBS) session at Warner Baptist ended Friday night.

This year's theme was "Put  on the whole armor of God."

Each night the teachers came prepared to teach.

The children were exceptional in the preparation of their arts and crafts.

Deaconess Shirley Saunders provided the music and did an outstanding job teaching the VBS music to the children and adults.  She has performed this task annually, with few, if any misses, for over 40 years.

Pastor Matthew J. Pearson was present every night and contributed in the presentations.

Compliments are also extended to Sister Rosalie Williams, the director, and all the volunteers who contributed to making this year's session one of the most lauded in recent history.

 Overall, attendance was very good every night. 

Attendees ranged in ages from 1 plus to 90 plus.

Note:  The adult class pictures were taken after class. Many members of the class were moving about.  Some lingered, and talked about how much they enjoyed the class.

Warner Baptist Annual Ushers Day Service
P.M. Service

Warner Baptist celebrated its Annual Ushers Day on Sunday, June 5, 2016. The guest Preacher for the service was Rev. Donald Hayes, pastor of Oakland Baptist Church, Alexandria, Virginia. He used scripture from the New Testament.  His message was centered on being a person willing to serve and help people for the uplifting of God's kingdom.

He was accompanied by one of his church's choirs and members of the Ushers Ministry.

There was a moment of silence, during the service, in remembrance of Sister Mamie Morgan who passed away in May 2016. She was a long time member of the Ushers Ministry at Warner Baptist and Ebenezer Baptist in Alexandria, Virginia.

An estimated 105 Ushers from the Northern Virginia area were present to support and show their love for the Warner Baptist Ushers ministry. Also, our visitors included several none ushers.

We were treated to the highly acclaimed March of the Northern Virginia Ushers.
Probably the only pictures you can find on the internet of this grand march is at our website, published on June 3, 2014: www. wbcfallschurch.blogspot.com

The food ministry under the leadership of Deaconess Shirley Saunders prepared and served a 
very delicious meal.  The chicken was finger licking good.

Deaconess Inez Addison is the president of the Ushers Ministry.
Reverend Matthew J. Pearson is the pastor.

Warner Baptist Black History Service: Featured Minister Isaac Howard and the Mt Calvery Baptist, Fairfax, Combined Gospel Choir

Article 2 Volume 8
   

                Afternoon service featured an array of old gospel hymns

Reverened Howard kept the congregation in a more! more! mode the whole service, as the choir sung hymns that you just don't hear that much in churches today. Songs such as "Lead Me all the way", " Saved by the blood of Jesus". Michelle Payne really song a beautiful selection, and to make sure the congregation stayed alert, she was followed by Sister (need help with name) who really had the congregation clapping and stomping like days of old.

The choir was in sinc all the way through the service.

Anyway, it was an afternoon well spent.

The Warner Baptist culinary ministry prepared and served a wonderful, delicious meal.

Janice Somers, a retired teacher, treated us to some wonderful readings and poems.

Can't tell it all, but I want you to know, we had a good time giving praises to the Lord in songs,  readings and prayer.
