Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. -2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV)
On Sunday, March 23, a horrible tragedy struck just a short distance from Winslow Baptist. A family was in their car on Sicklerville Road when they had a devastating accident. Both parents passed away, and one child was paralyzed while another remains in critical condition. A six-month old infant was also in the vehicle.
It is in times of such unthinkable pain and darkness that God’s light is needed all the more. WBC will be extending a measure of financial assistance to the surviving family as they go through this terrible ordeal, but we would also like to extend an opportunity to the people of Winslow to participate in this expression of holy lovingkindness. A special offering will be collected during the worship services on March 30 and April 6, the entirety of which will be given to the family. Gifts may also be made through our giving portal which is linked below; simply select “Special Event” in the drop-down box under “Purpose” so those funds can be correctly distributed. We also encourage everyone to join in fervent and passionate prayer for the families affected. Thank you!
