  • If God knows everything, why pray? Does prayer change anything? Does prayer change me, or God, or both? Join us as we rediscover the purpose, power and focus of our prayers as we study Philip Yancey’s “Prayer” on Sundays at 4:30, October 14 – November 18.
  • We are collecting for the North Carolina State Missions Offering. Our church goal is $3,000. This is a special offering that supports the ministries of Baptists on Mission, Church Planting, mission camps, associational projects and mobilization ministry projects. Disaster Relief through Baptist Men is supported by this offering.
  • It is time for our deacon election process for the upcoming year. We will be electing six deacons. Nominations open today and close on Sunday, October 14. Nomination boxes will be located at the Welcome Desk, on the tables outside the piano and organ entrances to the Sanctuary, in Adult 4, in the Coffee Room on the lower level of the Education Building, and in the information lobby at the bottom of the stairs. Please be in prayer about who God would have to serve in these leadership positions.
