ABOUT
80th Anniversary Celebration!
Celebrating 80 Fruitful Years
You are invited to … the Celebration of 80 Years of Ministry at Wanake!
This celebration will be filled with laughter, heartfelt conversations, and reflections on eight decades of experiences that have shaped and inspired everyone fortunate enough to be part of Wanake's journey.
This celebration will capture treasured memories of the past, joyful moments shared in the present, and visions of God’s work in and through Wanake in the future.
We will experience again Jesus-centered community, thanksgiving to God, awe at God’s creation, and songs of praise.
May the next 80 years be as fruitful at the first 80! This is our prayer.
Come for the whole weekend.
Come for the day on Saturday to celebrate.
Send your greetings for the Wanake Celebration wall.
