Weatherford Christian School is quickly approaching the 15th annual Faith Promise Dinner, a fundraising event that will take place on Saturday, September 29th at the Canyon West Club House beginning at 6:30 pm. This dinner is an opportunity for all WCS parents, grandparents, local business owners, and supporters to see the many advancements taking place at this dually accredited, non-denominational Christian School.

Guests will enjoy a sit-down dinner catered by City Kitchen and hear a motivating message from Retired United State Army Officer, Senator Brian Birdwell. This event will be centered around the theme “Refined By Fire” emphasizing the importance of providing a Christ-centered educational environment where children are equipped for lives of Christian leadership and service.

Lt. Col. (Ret.) Brian Birdwell is a native Texan, decorated military veteran and lifelong conservative Republican proudly representing Texas Senate District 22. Born in Fort Worth, Brian is a graduate of Lamar University in Beaumont, U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, and the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where he earned a Master of Public Administration degree.

On September 11, 2001, when American Airlines Flight 77 was crashed just yards away from his second floor Pentagon office, Brian was critically wounded and severely burned. Of the burns that covered more than 60 percent of his body, nearly half were third degree in severity. Today, following 39 operations, months of hospitalization and numerous skin grafts, Brian has made a miraculous recovery. Despite physical limitations, he testifies not only to his physical healing, but the ultimate miracle of grace through Christ.

This year’s event is made possible because of the continued support of incredible sponsors. Seating is limited for this event. To inquire about seats or sponsorships, please visit wcslions.org/faith-promise, call 817-596-7807 ext. 327, or e-mail marketing@wcslions.org.
