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 wel-come you personally. Because I believe in a Sovereign God, I don’t be-lieve 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

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.

See You at the Pole

Kids AND Parents: Mark your calendars for Wednes-

day, September 26 and plan to participate at a See You

at the Pole event at a local school or here at the church

for homeschooling families. Let’s join in prayer for our

students and teachers to be filled to overflowing with the

Spirit of God.

STUDENTS:

Prepare for Your See You at the Pole Gathering

You can freely gather for prayer before school, but it's

best to let your school administration know about See

You at the Pole™.

See You at the Pole™ is a student-led event. That means

you! Strong student leadership is crucial to the success

of your event. Your youth pastor can support you, your

parents can pray for you, but you need to take charge

and take part in See You at the Pole™.

The study will begin Monday, September 10 and will run from 6 to 8 p.m. in room 114.

Please sign up on the ladies’ ministry bulletin board if you plan to attend.

come for hamburger rolls, cup cakes, cookies, 4 large cans of green

beans and 4 large watermelons. We serve at least 120 people each

items, please contact Robin England (443) 693-2529.

"Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your

heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you"

1 Samuel 12:24
