Upcoming Service Project- Sign Up Now!
On Saturday, September 12 at 10 AM, we will be kicking off the "tiny home" building project at Bonsack Baptist Church.  Over the course of the next several months, we will be partnering with Bonsack Baptist and other congregations and groups to build a tiny home that can be deployed in the aftermath of a disaster to provide immediate housing for an individual or family who has lost their home.  Whether you are a master craftsman or a willing heart and back, there will be a part you can help with in this project!  We will be asking volunteers to sign up for particular work days as the nature of the project allows for only a certain number of people to be working at any one time.  Future dates will be announced soon, but if you would like to sign up to work on September 12, please let Pastor Mark know ASAP.  Please be in prayer that God would bless our efforts and use this home as a place of rest and healing.

Register Now: CBF Virginia General Assembly 
We are excited to be the host for the 2026 Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of Virginia General Assembly on Tuesday, September 22 from 9 AM - 3 PM. This is a great opportunity to come worship with fellow disciples of Christ from all over Virginia, attend breakout sessions on a variety of topics, and hear more about what CBF Virginia is doing now and what they hope to do as they begin their 35th year of ministry.  Representatives from different ministry partners will be on site throughout the day to share more about their work as well. Breakfast and lunch are provided for those who attend, and the whole thing is completely free! I want to encourage you to come for any and all of this special day. If you would like to attend, please go HERE and register to attend. If you would like to help out during the day as a greeter or in the hallway giving directions, please let Pastor Mark know. Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity!
