Missions Missions Announcements Annual Back-to-School Block Party August 14, 2010 - Shiloh Baptist Church Join us for an afternoon of celebration as we join with our partner churches, Shiloh Baptist and Greater Little Zion Holiness, to pass out over 1,000 backpacks stuffed with school supplies. Backpack Buddies This year we launched a new ministry to students at Rollins Elementary by providing twenty children with backpacks of food for the weekend. With your financial support, we will be able to enlarge this ministry and feed more children during the 2010-2011 school year. Please contact a member of the mission committee or the church office if you would like to help us feed more children. New Men's Shelter The launch of a new emergency men's shelter during the winter months of 2010 was a huge success thanks to the efforts of many churches in Henderson. Planning is being done to ensure that this ministry to homeless men continues. Over the last several years, First Baptist Church has increasingly mobilized to become a force of change in our community and our world. Our missional efforts are amateurish in the best possible way: they are entered into with an exuberance that springs from our corporate love of God and neighbor. This love has manifested itself in numerous ways, but the most prevalent, and perhaps the most poignant, is our partnership with two historically African-American churches in Henderson, Greater Little Zion Holiness Church and Shiloh Baptist Church. Observably blessed by the Holy Spirit, this partnership has been fruitful because it has remained faithful to its calling. We look forward to seeing what the Spirit has in store for our future. In addition to our local partnerships, First Baptist supports mission work beyond the borders of Vance County through mission trips and our support of the global mission efforts of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.
