The Beacon
A Light of Hope in Over-the-Rhine May 2018
“Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered." Proverbs 11:25
15 years of Building Character, Community, Kingdom
From the Christian Moerlein Taproom event on Friday evening through our closing worship at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church on Sunday morning, the Lord's blessing was upon us.
How amazing it was to see so many people who WCMC has impacted.
At the open house, guests were encouraged to share memories, search the photo walls for pictures of themselves and share their stories in our video booth. (It's not too late to participate. Contact Casey Posey for more information.)
We are so grateful to all the volunteers, staff and board members without whom our family reunion would not have been successful. May the Lord continue to make His presence known through this ministry !
Thank you to all our WCMC Family who participated!

On Monday, April 2nd our Key Club and Builders Club joined forces with the Cincinnati Kiwanis Club to celebrate the start of the 2018 Cincinnati Reds baseball season.
Students painted their faces and crafted their own noisemakers to prepare for the event.
They then walked about 15 blocks cheering, dancing and waving to onlookers.
This exciting event didn't simply mark the beginning of baseball but allowed the students to be part of a community-wide festivity which they looked forward to throughout the year.
This is just one way the Kiwanis partner with WCMC to empower our students to become the community leaders of tomorrow.
