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. We especially need help in the eastern part of our county. All materials are free of charge and are customizable. The goal is to have everything distributed by Easter this year. We still have maps and supplies available so please stop by or call our office for more information and/or to pick up the supplies.
On May 2nd, we hope to deliver 300-500 cakes to our Baptist Children’s Homes in NC and we need your help. Please consider baking a cake (or Cakes) for the wonderful children being taken care of at our Baptist Children’s Homes. Once you bake the cake(s), place them in one of the cake boxes we provide at our office and deliver it to our CRBA office between the hours of 7 and 10 a.m. on May 2nd. We will take all the gathered cakes to Clyde and other designated locations where they will be used for dessert after meals. And, on a child’s birthday, the child will choose which cake they want for their birthday celebration. This is a great opportunity for our churches and individuals to make a big impact on these wonderful children and the staff at our Children’s Homes. For more information and to pick up free cake boxes please stop by our CRBA office.
We had a wonderful time at this year’s Family Pine Car Challenge hosted by Oak Ridge Baptist Church. Thank you, Phil Heavener, for your leadership, and thank you Oak Ridge for being a wonderful host.
