WYANET — It is often difficult to be the new guy on the block, but the Rev. Willy Minnix of the Bureau Township Community Church in rural Wyanet doesn’t think so.

“My congregation has been really welcoming.” Minnix said of the parishioners at the church.

Mininix; his wife Trevor; and four children, Liam, 11; Elijah, 10; Etta, 8; and Gideon, 6; moved to the area Sept. 1 and been acclimating to their new home, school and church community. Trevor also noted the Bureau Township Community Church has been very “family friendly.”
