Thank you for supporting our blood drive!
On Tuesday we hosted an American Red Cross Blood Drive and we wanted to thank everyone who donated and supported this drive. During the drive we were able to collect 7 units which may be small but makes a big impact during the Red Cross's urgent plea for donations. Due to the winter weather in January, the Red Cross had to cancel over 30 local drives and over 700 unites of blood donations were not collected. Every little bit helps close this gap and we thank everyone for their support!

Please mark your calendars as we will be hosting another blood drive in August!

Climbing to New Heights: Spring Church Leadership Training 
The Barnabas Partnership is hosting a Spring Church Leadership Training day here at Melrose Baptist on Saturday, March 21 from 9 AM-12 PM. The Barnabas Partnership works to educate and support ministers and churches to be able to continue Kingdom work. There will be sessions on social media for the church, understanding the cycles of church life, building relationships, and building an effective Deacon ministry.

Interested in this event? Please let Pastor Mark know by Thursday, March 13!
