From the Pastor's Desk

Dear Church Family,
       Recently, at one of our Tuesday prayer meetings, I heard someone thanking God for many of the answered prayers we had asked God for over the last year.  God had saved people, healed people, brought people, mended broken relationships, and answered our prayers for our new building.
       The Baptist Church Loan Corporation has approved our loan request and we are working to finalize the paperwork.  In the middle of that process, someone outside our church wanted to give us a house that we will be able to sell and put the profit toward our building.  God is good!! Our prayer is that we can break ground within a few months.
I’m jumping ahead now.  Easter is March 27, and I want that day to be special.  We will have our Sunrise Service, breakfast, Sunday School and I want us to invite as many as we can to come and then worship together.  After worship, I want us to go down to the property where the new building will sit and with our shovels, break ground as the official start of the building. Let’s be much in prayer for Parrish Construction Company and the city as the plans get finalized and the building begins to go up.
On February 14, Valentine’s Day, we will have a Valentine’s Banquet for all adults.  We will have a catered meal, and then one of the funniest men I have ever heard, “Cousin Arthur”, will bring our entertainment.  A nursery will be provided.  Fine food, great entertainment, and no kids!  What more could you ask for?  So that we will know how many to plan for, you must sign up on the bulletin board.
I’ll see you Sunday with a Bible in your hand and a friend by your side.  Let’s grow together.

Serving the Savior, Pastor Mike
