Announcing a new and developing outreach of Word of Life Baptist Church to our community:
The Word of Life RC Course
Do you have a radio controled car and want to run it on a track or crawler course? We have a place for you to do that, including a stand to control your cars from, just off our lower parking lot, near the sheds and storage containers.
As with our Disc Golf Course, this is open to the public, but closed during Sunday morning services and funerals.
Have fun out there!
Contact Kevin Dore for more information.
What started as a pop-up course for a church event is now open to the public as an outreach of Word of Life Baptist Church to our community.
The course is closed on Sunday mornings and/or when funerals are taking place.
Parking in the lower lot is preferred - the 1st tee is up the stairs by the front entrance / mailbox.
Course maps are available near the first tee pad or available here:
Loaner disc sets are available just inside the first set of doors at the main entrance to the church, inside a yellow box.
Some Course Notes:
- We have a mixture of tee pads marked with orange or yellow stakes as the front of the "tee pad." Some are existing concrete or asphalt, others are outdoor carpet-covered rubber mats.
- We have garbage bins available by the bend on #2, after # 4(13), 7 (16) and # 9 (18) on the course, so please help us care for the church property.
Mando's (we hope to add signs eventually): Hole 3 - right of the 1st tree Hole 9 - left of the group of 4 trees. If you miss the mando, take your penalty stroke and go the the marked drop zone to the left of the two other birch trees (it should make sense when you're there).
Recommended "Hazard": All asphalt (Hazard penalty stroke, but play from where the disc lies). When leagues play, this rule is followed.
Have fun out there!
Most weeks, a small, but friendly group of people meets up, after the morning service, in the lobby of MidMichigan Medical Center of Alpena. They gather some hymnals and sing some hymns and/or choruses at the ends of the hallways on multiple floors. A few of the patients/families may make requests or even join in as we sing two or three hymns in each spot. It may remind you of Christmas caroling, but with regular hymns. Expect to spend around an hour at the hospital, depending on how much visiting (with the team and/or patients) you happen to do.
Does that sound like something you would like to do or try? Contact the church office for more information.
Each January, we encourage the entire Word of Life family to embark on a time of Prayer and Fasting.
Each year has a theme that builds off the prayer, "“O Lord, give us ONE DESIRE: Make our hearts beat as one with yours..."
For 2026, the theme is "Expand Our Desire" and our key verse is Psalm 73:25 - "Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth I desire besides you.”"
