   From the Pastor

 

 

Throughout the past 23 years, our journey together has seen many times of joy.  We cherish the sweet memories!  It has been our pleasure to serve alongside you in ministry.  God has allowed us to work together as a team to serve Him.  Your friendship has meant so much to us, and we will always be grateful for the many opportunities to minister to you and to others.

 

Our journey together has also seen times of sadness.  Many members have left us, but their impact on our lives will remain.  It was an honor to be a part of their lives. Their support and encouragement always made the path lighter and more enjoyable as we did the Lord’s work.

 

Our journey together is coming to an end.  As we look to the future, we pray that the Lord will continue to bless HIS church and that it will always be a witness in this community.

A belated but heartfelt Happy 23rd Church Anniversary to Pastor Tim and Jeanne on August 1, 2026.  THANK YOU for 23 years of serving the Lord with us, ministering to us, and loving us.  You were there for us in all our seasons of life – visiting, praying, (and making us laugh when we needed it the most).  We will miss you – I will miss you, and will miss working with you.  Thank you for your support of the music ministry and of me all these years– you are loved and appreciated!

Please join us Wednesday, September 16, at 7:00 P.M. for missions night.  Our focus for September is the North Carolina Missions Offering (NCMO).  This offering supports ministries such as disaster relief, mobile medical units, church planting, and associational missions efforts.  Our theme for this year is “Living Sent,” based on John 20:21:  “Peace be with you.  As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”  The week of prayer for this offering is August 30 to September 6, and there will be envelopes and prayer guides in the bulletins on August 30.  The statewide goal is $2.8 million, and our church goal is $1,000.  We will be collecting this offering through the month of September.

 

Also, during September we will be collecting food for the State Fair carnival workers.  These items will be used by the Raleigh Baptist Association to prepare meals for the workers everyday.  There will be a list of needed items in the bulletin on September 6 and a box in the foyer for your donations..  PLEASE NOTE – this list has changed from previous years.  Thank you in advance for your participation in these ministries
