1 Rev. Mike Winters, Pastor Ben Harding, Music Director Hannah Grace Mullins, Youth Director Dr. Ray Jones, Jr., Pastor Emeritus WISE BAPTIST NEWS A PUBLICATION FOR MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF WISE BAPTIST CHURCH April 23, 2019 A place for faith and fellowship with family and friends. Dear Church Family and Friends, The burning of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris has captured the attention of the world. It is an international tragedy and loss. What history it represents! What beautiful architecture, statues, paintings and stained glass! It all seems like bad news. The nation of France is numb with disbelief. Even if the cathedral is rebuilt, it will not be the same. And yet support has poured in from all over the world. It is an occasion to think about what Notre Dame stands for. It is a monument to the grandeur and majesty of God. It is a testimony to something and Someone far greater than us. The Bible tells us in I Peter 2 that Jesus is the precious cornerstone for the church, living stones made into a spiritual house. I am so thankful for the wonderful church building we have at Wise Baptist Church. I am thankful for the generous giving, careful planning, and conscientious care that makes our building possible. I am thankful for the ministries that our church building allows. But, our building points to a higher and greater reality Jesus, the cornerstone. We have the privilege of being living stones, not just at the corner of Birchfield and Spring Avenue in Wise, but anywhere we go. Brothers and sisters, because Jesus lives, let us be the church!
