Talents For Christ New Category
Talents For Christ (TFC) directors from several states and GARBC personnel participated in a September 16th web meeting to plan for the upcoming TFC competition. The directors enthusiastically committed to promoting TFC in their region and through state meetings and voted to offer the new category of instrumental ensembles in the open competiton. Directors expressed thankfulness for Regular Baptist camps in Iowa, Michigan, and Ohio offering state TFC scholarships to their camping programs. TFC participation is growing, let’s keep the momentum going! It’s not too early to prompt your church teens to participate in next year’s competition-as a group or individual, scholarship or open (non-scholarship).
Children’s Curriculum Sales are UP!
Praise the Lord for the good reception of the new RBP’s children’s curriculum. We took the input of churches in the GARBC and designed the curriculum with you mind. The teacher-friendly Planting Faith (2s & 3s, pre-primaries) and Growing Faith (primaries, middlers and juniors) curriculum are available in two versions, KJV and NKJV. Your students will love the learning activities! Place your order for winter quarter now.
Opportunity to Help a New Church
A church in the GARBC is ready to start a new work and they have requested funds from the Baptist Builders Club START UP fund. As of the end of September Baptist Builders Club did not enough funds to meet the full request. Church planting is our future; we need your support! You can help plant churches by giving today. You can make a web donation or send support to BBC-USA, 1300 North Meacham Rd., Schaumburg, IL 60173.
