CRBA Update February 10, 2022

saturate burke


We are excited to partner with Saturate USA to pray for every home in Burke County and to give them (every home) a gospel tract and a DVD of the Jesus film which can be streamed and available in several languages. If your church would be willing to adopt a section of Burke County to distribute these packets door to door (not door-knocking, just putting the bag on the door handle) please call our CRBA office. All materials are free of charge and are customizable. The goal is to have everything distributed by Easter this year. Call our office for more information.
 


Cakes for


Every April, we encourage our churches to buy at least $100 worth of grocery store gift cards and bring them to the CRBA office so that we can distribute those to the Baptist Children’s Homes of NC. This year, in addition to the gift cards, we are asking individuals to make cakes for the children. On May 2nd, we will collect the cakes at our CRBA office from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and then we will deliver them to some of our NC Baptist Children’s Homes. These cakes will be put into large freezers. On each child’s birthday, they will pick out their birthday cake. The remaining cakes will be used for deserts at the children’s homes. Please help us spread the word about this new ministry opportunity!

Tax Day Ministry
One of the most “un-fun” days on the calendar is April 15th when Americans are expected to pay taxes. While everyone knows that day is coming, many will wait until the 15th to send in their taxes. Knowing that happens every year, consider purchasing several books (or rolls) of stamps from the post office and then stand at the door offering a free stamp to those entering saying that it is a gift from your church. People will be shocked, and some might even visit your church. Be sure to get permission from the Post Office first.
