A Note from Pastor Phillips: Thank you for coming to worship with us today. If you are first-time visitor, I would sure like the opportunity to meet you and welcome you personally. Because I believe in a Sovereign God, I don’t believe anything happens by chance. I believe you were brought here today for a purpose. I would love to help you discover that purpose, and to see if there is any way we as a church can bless and minister to you and your family. Please stop by the Resource Center after the service so I can shake your hand. I’d sure count it a privilege. Pastor Harold

Food Closet Our Food Closet has been a blessing to many members of our community and gives the office staff an opportunity to share the unconditional love of Jesus Christ at a time when it is needed. We would like to implement a donation schedule. Each week we will ask you to bring in specific items so replenish our food closet. Here is the schedule. Of course, you are welcome to bring in any of the items at any time of the month. You may bring as much as you like or just one item.
The state missions offering of the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware has helped start & strengthen 500+ churches across Maryland, Delaware and beyond. 100% of the funds are reinvested in churches like ours for local and global mission impact. The bottom line is that we are united together to love our neighbors and share Christ in our region. What is the Maryland/Delaware State Missions Offering?
The annual Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware State Missions Offering sustains ministries not funded through the Cooperative Program
IT is a way for our church to participate in the Great Commission strategy specifically for this region
A way to start more churches and reach more people for Christ
A way to change lives and to develop tomorrow’s leaders
Our statewide challenge goal this year is $150,000. September 9-16 is a week set aside for prayer for this effort. Prayer guides are available in the lobby to help us unite in prayer. If you would like to participate by donating to the campaign, please place your gift in the offering plate with “MD/DE State Missions” in the memo area. Designated envelopes are located in the pews. Prayer guides are available at the Welcome Center. Please help yourself to one. 6
