Welcome, guest/inquirer! All are welcome at Wildwind Church!

We have an area on our site that is just for you called the Visitor Center. On this page you will find a collection of content from all across the site that applies particularly to you as a guest, or new inquirer. If the stuff on that page does not address your question(s), there will be a way to drop us a note.

But first, we want you to know one important thing about us. We are flawed, all of us, and we know it. If you are looking for a community of imperfect people who will accept and love you for who you are, and help you learn to hear God, you are looking in the right place.

Now on to the Visitor Center!

Continuing our Emotionally Healthy Spirituality series, Dave talks about the essential time in every believer's life where they are suffering, and their suffering is bigger than their faith. This is a horrible season, but Dave explains what amazing things await if you stick it out.

eCard: Baby Dedication

Sat, 13 Dec 2008 06:54:00 GMT

Hey, I have some exciting news. Our baby is being dedicated at my church (Wildwind Community Church in Grand Blanc) pretty soon, and I thought I'd drop you a note and see if you'd consider being there to be part of it. It's not going to take more than a few minutes -- it's just a short ceremony -- but it means a lot to me and I'd love to have you be part of the occasion. If you're interested in coming, you can get directions on Google Maps.

Details on service date/time are below. I hope you can be part of it!

eCard: Baptism

Sat, 13 Dec 2008 06:54:00 GMT

Hi friend! I want to invite you to attend my church -- Wildwind Community Church -- with me for a special occasion. I am being baptized and it would mean a lot for me to have you there! If you can't come I understand, but I just wanted you to know that you're someone in my life that I want to share special days and events with. The date and other information is below.

eCard: Friend Day

Sat, 13 Dec 2008 06:53:00 GMT

Hi! I wanted to write and let you know that Friend Day is coming up at my church -- Wildwind Community Church in Grand Blanc. Wildwind is always a place where people can drop by without feeling uncomfortable so in a way every week it's Friend Day, but Friend Day is when we make a special effort to connect with friends and bring them with us. You're somebody I value and I would love to have you there with me on Friend Day. And don't worry -- nothing weird happens! You won't have to stand up and say your name or anything. And the church won't bug you afterwards with phone calls and emails and stuff.

You can get an address and directions at Google Maps.. Don't be confused - our church meets in a building that belong to another church.

If you have questions about the church, they might be answered somewhere on the website, or feel free to ask me. The date and time and other details are below.

eCard: General Invitation #1 (basic info about church - very brief)

Sat, 13 Dec 2008 19:45:00 GMT

Hey there. I was just thinking about you and decided I wanted to invite you to my church. The place has made a big difference in my life. You have too. So I thought maybe you might be interested in checking it out. If you don't want to, that's cool too. Let me know if I should keep inviting you or quit bugging you. I'd love for you to come, but I don't ever want to make things awkward between us.

Anyway, if you want more info on the church so you can decide if you think you might come, you'll find a ton of information at http://www.wildwindchurch.com. Have a great week!

eCard: General Invitation #2 (Here's that info about my church I promised you...)

Sat, 13 Dec 2008 19:45:00 GMT

Hi. I have told you before how much I love my church and that I would get you more information about it, but I keep forgetting. Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you.

My church is called Wildwind Community Church. It's a really easy-going place. It's pretty informal, but really focused on the things that affect life from day to day. It has made a big difference in my life. There is so much information on the website about the church that it's almost like actually going there! I would especially recommend the information you'll find under About Us, like the FAQ and Beliefs and How to Find Us. And there are over 50 of the sermons available to stream, download, and/or burn to CD if you want to hear the preaching and teaching.

Anyway, there's the info I promised you. Please let me know if you have any questions. Again, sorry it took so long.

eCard: General Invitation #3 (basic info about church)

Sat, 13 Dec 2008 19:44:00 GMT

Hi. I wanted to take an opportunity to tell you about this church I've been going to. It has made a big difference in my life.

My church is called Wildwind Community Church. It's a really easy-going place. It's pretty informal, but focused on the things that affect life from day to day. There is so much information on the website about the church that it's almost like actually going there! I would especially recommend the information you'll find under About Us, like the FAQ and Beliefs and How to Find Us. And there are over 50 of the sermons available to stream, download, and/or burn to CD if you want to hear the preaching and teaching.

Something I really love about it is that the church believes and teaches that God is at work everywhere. The first time a person shows up at church isn't the beginning of God's activity in their lives -- it's just a part of the picture. The church focuses on helping people learn to identify God's presence and activity in their lives. It believes deeply in both individuality and in community. Though God works in us individually, learning about God is best done in community where we can learn from and support each other.

Anyway, there's a little about the church. I'd love for you to come by sometime. No church is for everybody, but Wildwind is a pretty unique place and you might dig it. Please let me know if you have any questions.

eCard: Leadership Training

Sat, 13 Dec 2008 19:59:00 GMT

I'll be straight up with you. The reason I'm sending you this card is because I'm hoping to convince you to come with me to the monthly leadership training the church offers. I am learning so much about things that affect my real life every day, and I want to get the word out to more people because I know it could help others. I'm not trying to pressure you in any way, but I'd love for you to come check it out! Sessions are on the first Friday of every month from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. When that has to change you'll get a note on the elist and the change will reflect on the website. Have a great week!

eCard: Note of Encouragement

Sat, 13 Dec 2008 19:50:00 GMT

Hi. I haven't seen you at church in a few weeks and I wanted to let you know I have been thinking about you and miss you. I hope to see you soon. Please call or drop me an email if there's any way I can support or encourage you. That's what it's all about.

eCard: Thank you

Sat, 13 Dec 2008 19:51:00 GMT
