HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

That is a greeting we all like to give, but sometimes are reluctant to receive.  During our moments of prayer a couple Sundays ago, we celebrated the birthdays of at least five people who were having their "big day" that week.  We also surprised Katherine Horton with a party in honor of her 94th birthday during our potluck luncheon on April 27.

Birthdays, though many of us have lived more than we care to admit, are an important part of our lives.  So is the birthday of the Church.  Each spring, seven weeks after Easter, Christians observe the Church's birthday on the day called Pentecost. more>>
 

Dear Friends, In spite of its affluence and influence on the world-wide scene, the United States still remains as challenging a mission field as any other around the globe.  In our towns, our cities, and our neighborhoods dwell the same sort of needy folks as Christ associated with and ministered to.  Can we do any less as ambassadors of Christ?

National Ministries of the American Baptist Churches U.S.A. with which we are affiliated continues a widespread outreach across the U.S. and Puerto Rico to identify and confront the impediments to the spiritual and physical well-being of millions of men, women, and children. more>>
