Pastor's Note

By Pastor Greg Crocker

In a few weeks (11 July) I will be leading a team to go to Tuscaloosa Alabama to aid with debris clean up and help in any way we can to bring them back to a sense of normality since the devastating tornado back in April. This is just another chance for us to BE the church and not just do church. If you cannot go, it would be greatly appreciated if you would pray for those going, provide the team with some non-perishable food supplies and water / Gatorade, or monetarily supportfor the cost of gas for the van. Anything you can do is greatly appreciated. Some of you may be asking “Why Tuscaloosa?” The answer is because they contacted the Florida Baptist Convention and asked for help, and I had been asked after the disaster if there was anything we could do to help and I told that individual that as soon as I heard something, we would do our best to help.

There are over 4500 unreached unengaged people groups in this world and I am sure that number is low. What does this mean? It means that these groups have never heard the name of Jesus intentionally mentioned to them or have yet to have the gospel presented to them once. I am asking this church to pray about taking on the challenge of reaching 1 (one) of these groups within the next six months. Christian weren’t you glad the day someone intentionally introduced Jesus to you and you were given a chance to repent and come to Him? Now think about those people groups who have yet to hear. Let’s do this and see what happens as God works in and through us.

In His Love, Pastor Greg
