Myrtle Grove Baptist Church Month Year
Greetings!

This Sunday morning Pastor Ron will bring the message:  "When You Believe in God but Trust in Money"

Also, the Praize Kidz will be singing in both the Contemporary and the Blended service.  They sure seem to make a joyful noise while they are learning about God's Word (don't let them know they are learning - that would spoil the fun!).
 
Sincerely,
Myrtle Grove
Myrtle Grove Baptist Church

Barnabas Group Disaster Relief Spiritual Training Seminar/Event
What in the world is this anyhow?

October 16, 10am - 3pm @ MGBC

Purpose of the Barnabas Group

 It is in the book of Acts that we are first introduced to Barnabas. His name literally means, "Son of Encouragement."

 Hence, the name of our Spiritual Care Group, we are to encourage (a calling to one's aid).

 Encourage the depressed victims to courageously move forward stimulating them to reach out - rebuild, and introduce hope into their lives, their families, and their future.

To touch hurting souls, their broken hearts, their shattered lives, help them to overcome the ravages wrought by crisis/disaster.

 Our Main Purpose is to share the Gospel with the lost and encourage the believer within a disaster sensitive area. 

When faced with the aftermath of devastation people do not care about credentials, diplomas, etc. They look for kindness and understanding.

They need a shoulder on which to cry, a word of encouragement,
a listening ear, and a heart of compassion.
A compassion born out of our love for Jesus Christ.

 It is love, compassion, and understanding the victim longs to hear, more importantly, see. People do not care what you believe,
until they believe that you care.

May our Lord bless you as you tenderly minister in and to this lost and dying world and remember
we are not doing so for victory, we do so from victory!

  For the Beautiful Cause of Our Beautiful Savior,
  A Member of Barnabas 



A crisis or disaster does not have to be a huge event such as a hurricane.  Families face trials and serious tribulations every day in our community.

 This
seminar will teach and assist you in the right things to say and do - and how to avoid saying and doing the wrong things.

Family Fall Festival

5 weeks (more or less) from now


  On Sunday, October 31st from 5:00 - 7:00pm, our church will once again offer the children of the Myrtle Grove and surrounding communities an alternative to trick-or-treat.

 We need your help in making this a special event for these children.

 Individually wrapped candy donations are needed.  Boxes have been placed in the church office and the FLC.

Remember kids to tell your parents/grandparents that costumes are fine but please no witches, goblins or ghosts...  Some of us grownups may need to wear a costume to avoid confusion.
