This is a great way for your church to bless and reach businesses for Christ. Boys and girls come to Baptist Children’s Homes from situations of unimaginable neglect and abuse, causing them to feel alone and forgotten. When you add a global pandemic on top of their already traumatic circumstances, their feelings of hopelessness are amplified. The Baptist Children’s Home of North Carolina is in need of grocery store gift cards. We encourage each of our CRBA churches to donate at least $100 in gift cards to help these children in need. Drop off for the gift cards will be at the CRBA office (1812 US HWY 70 E, Morganton, NC 28655) now through April 28th, 2023. Please contact our office at (828) 437-0137 for more information. %202.jpg?w=1534&ssl=1) %202.jpg?w=1534&ssl=1)    CRBA Resource of the Week  Do you have an event where you need a portable sound system?
