Looking back at the Good News and Favorable Outreach attention this blog site has attracted for Warner Baptist

Article 18, Volume 8
        Good News and Information spread through this news outlet

In the year 2011, I looked back at my newspaper writing experience and investigative report  
writing skills and decided I wanted to cover news at WBC on a limited basis. The church was not familiar with my newspaper and report writing skills.

So, I decided to take full responsibility for all my articles and write a disclaimer.

Now, 104 articles and 7 years later I'm still writing.  Many of my articles, have been picked up by other news outlets and shown around the world.  

The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th most views are from Russia, France, and Germany respectively with 1200 collectively.  There are views from more than 25 countries.  This viewership is not only good news for Warner Baptist but also for the pastors and churches that are featured in the articles.

Rev. Robert Yancey sermons have attracted the most viewers, nearly 500, followed by sermons by Reverend Elton Wilson and Reverend Darrell White.

My favorite articles include the coverage granted to Revival services by Reverend Yancey, Reverend Eugene Pearson and Reverend Shep Bridgett.  We covered all five nights in each case.
Also, the sermon by Reverend Stanley Bradby this year, in January on "Willing Workers" is a favorite. I called it a Martin Luther King Celebration speech. (google,  "Martin Luther King. Stanley Bradby.Warner Baptist).

I cannot forget the article about the church member who was hit by a bus. After a few moments on the ground, she hopped up, got on her bicycle, and went on about her business. She refused to seek or wait for any type of medical assistance.

Also, there are many pictures and video (some unpublished) from a variety of events.

Many churches have beautiful websites that cost $500 or more a month to publish church news and events.  In many cases they just publish announcements.  My journal is different.

Interestingly, my journal is not included in the bulletins or mentioned in the announcements of the church. This action, may be because of the disclaimer.  Therefore, most members are unaware of  My Journal publication. I sometimes think I have more viewers in Russia than at my church.

The viewership of nearly 12,000 is not bad when you consider the limited number of articles I write. 

This is my last article for this year. Let me think about continuing next year.  I have three other blog sites. 

Happy New Year!

Article 14, Volume 7                                                              November 1, 2017
Midnight Prayer Meeting

Warner Baptist Church (WBC) members will be convening on Friday, November 3rd at 9 p.m. for their semi-annual Midnight Prayer Meeting.

The service is slated to end at Midnight.  (three hours)

This special prayer meeting practice started in the 1970's at WBC. It was during the time when there was a lot of problems in the USA. 

 Until recently the time of the event was from 12:01 a.m. until 6 a.m.

What happens?  Church members and concerned citizens from other churches or any walk or lifestyle in life, who believe that Prayer can change things, come together and pray, testify, and sing hymns or songs of praise and thanksgiving.

Promises in Scripture:

The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.  He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. -- Psalm 145: 17-19 Holy Bible KJV

Rev Charles A. Hall, Pastor of St John Baptist Church, Alexandria, VA, guest Preacher for Warner Baptist Church's 136th Anniversary Service

Article 11, Volume 7                                                                         October 14, 2017

Rev Hall preached the final night, Friday, October 13, 2017 of the week-long
          anniversary services

Rev Hall used Matthews 16:13,18 and other selections for his scripture.  His text was "Who do you say that I am?" and "Are you still standing on the Rock?"

His emphasis was in knowing Jesus for yourself and standing firm in your belief.  Don't go running from church to church looking for God.

Don't get caught up in believing that you need a big building to hear the Word of God. Jesus preached outdoors. You should note that Jesus built his church on a Rock. That rock was not a building.

Regardless of the sanctuary size, type, or inside structure, you need to have the "Spirit of God" instilled in you for your daily walk.

He cited, Galatians 5:1. 

Stand fast in the freedom that Christ has made possible for you and do not tangle up with the yokes that can put you in bondage.

During the sermon, Rev. Hall commented on women and their role in the ministry.

Rev Hall was accompanied by one of his church's choirs.  Included in their selection of songs, was a beautiful rendition of the song, "God is".
