Hello FWALT Community,

Walks 27 and 28 are a wrap.

God did what He always does by showing up big on each of these walks, and our community continues to grow because of it.  There are many powerful stories about the Holy Spirit moving.

The Gathering was a wonderful time of fellowship, worship, food, testimony sharing, and hearing our community’s latest news. We had such a fantastic turnout, with 127 community members present.

Brandie and Brant Allen led our worship, and Community Pastor Chris Willcutt gave us an excellent devotional on leadership and God’s plan for our lives.

Board Chairman Nick Hyman discussed the main business topics.

SENDOFF PROCEDURES ARE CHANGING:
The community voted ‘Yes’ to how Sendoff will be handled on upcoming walks.  The main reasons for these changes are the cost and reliability of transportation. Please see the new Sendoff Procedure below:
