Praying for Toy Store 2021
These wonderful flyers (5,500 in Spanish and English) were sorted, stacked, and distributed to 16 schools and 7 local agencies and ministries.
Please be praying that the families in need would receive these flyers and for school personnel to look with favor upon these flyers of our upcoming Toy Store registration. We are so grateful to Sally Dixon, Rama Jean Franklin, and Sharon Smith for all their help in getting these sorted and distributed.
We are still collecting toys, and we need your help. Please bring new toys costing $15-$20 to our CRBA office. For a sample list of toys please go to https://www.crbanc.org/crba-needs/.
Join us this Wednesday for our CRBA week prayer conference call. This time of prayer will be a blessing to you, your family, and your church. Please take note of the new phone #.

We are excited to announce that we will be doing ministry in Central Asia in April of 2022 with the help of one of our IMB Missionaries. For more information on this special trip, please call our CRBA office. This trip is limited to 10 people; so, if you plan to go, please contact our office and send in a deposit of $100 to secure your place.
We are excited to announce we will be partnering with our State Convention this year collecting coats for those in need in New York City. As you know, scripture tells us to be witnesses in our communities, state, nation, and world. Therefore, part of our Acts 1:8 strategy this year will focus on New York, and we need your help. If you have new or “gently used” coats (heavy or light) that you wish to “send on mission” please bring them by our CRBA office or bring them to our CRBA Fall Meeting and Celebration on October 17th and drop them off at a designated location in the parking lot of Burkemont Baptist from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. prior to our Worship Celebration which will begin at 6 p.m. This is a great way to be involved in missions!
This is always a great time of recreation and fellowship!
Please note the new location. Previously, we were scheduled to play at Hampton Heights in Hickory. We have recently changed the location to Orchard Hills in Granite Falls. Also, we are limited to 8 teams. So, if you have not yet registered a team, please call Earl Cross today.
I encourage each of our CRBA churches to “Sponsor A Hole” at $100 per hole. Several local business owners are participating, and it is our hope that our churches will do the same. Make hole sponsorship checks out to CRBA and write “Golf Tournament Hole Sponsorship” on the memo line.
100% of proceeds from hole sponsorships will go to the purchase of toys for
children in need here in Burke County.
