MLK Day of Service '24

 

Kudos to the team from FBC Norristown who participated in a local clean-up project during this year's Martin Luther King, Jr, Day of Service. The neighborhood looks so much better thanks to the crew of serving volunteers

Be Prepared!

 

Ten members of New Hope Full Gospel Baptist Church, Norristown, received CPR and First Aid training. Such excellent teaching, as trainees learned so much! And each person received an American Heart Certification good for 2 years!

The Grace Space

 

When you enter the sanctuary at the Baptist Church of West Chester you’ll see The Grace Space! This quiet space is for those who find it helpful to have more room for their body than a pew can offer. Quiet toys and books are always available. This area is just one way the congregation tries to demonstrate their core value of “Unbiased Hospitality.”

Like Father, Like Son

 

Meet two generations of preachers in the Ten Mile Association. Pastor Jim Cannon (left) serves at  Mt. Zion Baptist Church; Jacob Cannon (right) has just completed his ACTS schooling and eager to get started in ministry! It's a joy to see the enthusiasm of Jacob as he wanted to know what was next to keep moving forward. It will be exciting to see how God unfolds this new and upcoming pastor! Certainly be praying for him as well. Keep watching to see what God will do in the life of these two men of God!

MLK Day of Reading

 

The MLK Day of Reading was a huge success as the most amazing people celebrated the life of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr! The event included many volunteers from the Greater Zion Missionary Baptist Church who took time out of their schedule to read to families. It all took places at a beautiful location, the Whitaker Center in Harrisburg.
