To Churches of the Southern Baptist Convention 

This will be a time for our church to join all Southern Baptist Churches for a time of *Prayer & Fasting.  Dr. Johnny Hunt, President of the Southern Baptist Convention, has issued a call across the Southern Baptist Convention for our nation and for the churches of our convention.  Note these words from the call to prayer:  "Since God requires humility, confession, and complete dependence on Him before granting healing to a land, it is time to ramp it up a notch by inviting all SBC churches to set aside Sunday, January 31, 2010, to pray specifically for our denomination."

You may donate to the *Haitian Relief through Myrtle Grove Baptist Church.  Make your check payable to MGBC and write "Haitian Relief" on your check or offering envelope.  One hundred percent of your offering will go to this earthquake relief effort!

*NOTE:  Pick up printed information concerning Prayer & Fasting and Haitian Relief on the prayer information table in the main foyer.
