Meal begins at 6:15 pm. Program is from 7:00-8:30 pm. Cost is $5 per man, and helps cover the cost of the meal. Every man and his pastor is encouraged to attend! Registration is required. Register and pay online at www.baptistsonmission.org/mwr  – or – call Tina Holder at the Baptist on Mission Office at 919-459-5596 and provide a credit card. We hope to see you and your men there!

    I’m reaching out from Fallston Baptist Church to ask our neighboring churches to help us surround one of our church families with love and support. The Upton family recently experienced a heartbreaking car accident that took the life of their 19 year old son Austin and left his mother injured.
    We are planning a BBQ fundraiser to help ease some of the financial burden from funeral and medical expenses. We would love for our local churches to come alongside us by sharing the fundraiser flyer with your congregation and community.
    If your church is able, we are also accepting donations of cakes, cookies, brownies, paper products, or monetary donations toward fundraiser supplies. Helping cover these expenses will allow as much of the money raised as possible to go directly to the Upton family.
    Please contact Lauren Turner at 704-692-8721 by Friday, November 6, with any items or contributions your church would like to provide.
    We are so thankful to live in a community where churches can come together to love and care for one another. Thank you for helping us be the hands and feet of Jesus to this family when they need it most.
    And more than anything else, please pray for the Upton family. Please pray for comfort in their grief, healing, strength, and for God’s presence to
    surround them in the days ahead.

     

    I am writing to let you know about a new book I have written, “Eulogy: Remembering a Life Through God’s Good Word.”  I am hoping it will be an encouragement to ministers, churches, and families as they prepare for the death of a loved one in the church family.  I wanted to let you all know of its soon release in case you have knowledge of those who might be searching for such a resource.
