Parking Decals
We have begun checking parking decals on our vehicles. Please be sure that your vehicles are duly marked as Billy Scruggs has arranged for unmarked vehicles to be towed. If you have no parking decal or temporary parking pass, WBC members may come to the office to receive them. Non-members must see Billy Scruggs, the WBC Building and Grounds Chair. Don’t worry about Sunday services; we will not be enforcing anything during worship times or church-wide events.
