49th ANNIVERSARY DINNER
With Dr.Joseph M. Stowell

Over 500 guests joined us for an inspiring evening as we praised God for blessing Wedgwood's ministry of providing hope and healing to hurting youth and families in West Michigan. Our guest speaker was Dr. Joseph M. Stowell, President of Cornerstone University, an internationally recognized speaker and author. Guests were treated to two video testimonials: A current residential client who has turned his life around and is well on his way to independent living, and a former client, Wendi, who is now a doctor in Atlanta. Thanks to the generous support of donors, Wedgwood's distinctively Christian approach to healing the most troubled lives is truly making a difference! Proceeds from the dinner provide funding for five key value-added services: Chaplaincy/Young Life, Employment Training, Wellness, Educational Support and Positive Youth Development.
