Table Fellowship
True Christian fellowship is based in a relationship with God that extends to other people. It is prompted by the Holy Spirit and results in personal interaction that God uses to change lives. Christian fellowship in practice, is meant to change both your life and those you interact into being more Christ-like. It is becoming more like Jesus Christ that keeps a church alive, keeps it moving forward, and attracts others.
If you desire True Christian Fellowship, why don’t you plan to get together with us at our monthly Table Fellowship. Come and join us every last Sunday of the month immediately after worship. Get deep with one another and do what the early church did in Acts 2:42. They not only devoted themselves to the Apostle’s doctrine, breaking of bread and prayer, but they had fellowship too. They were busy helping each other become more like Christ. Don’t "do lunch" – instead have lunch and "do Table Fellowship."
One More Child – A Mother’s Day Offering
Each year on Mother’s Day, our church participates in the Southern Baptist initiative known as One More Child—a special, designated offering focused on caring for vulnerable children and families.
This ministry exists to serve those in some of life’s most difficult situations, including foster children, hungry children, trafficked children, single mothers, and struggling families. Through the generosity of churches like ours, One More Child is able to provide meals, safe homes, counseling, and ongoing support to those who need it most.
Mother’s Day is a fitting time to give, as we reflect on the value of family and the calling to care for those who are hurting and in need. Your gift goes beyond a single moment—it becomes part of a larger mission to bring hope, healing, and the love of Christ to “one more child.”
We invite you to prayerfully consider how you can participate in this offering. Together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of children and families who need to know they are seen, valued, and loved.
BBC's Nesting Basket for the Lake Wales Choices Pregnancy Care Center
The Choices Pregnancy Care Nesting Gift Basket is a simple but meaningful way our church family can come alongside new mothers with love and practical support. Through this program, we invite members to donate essential baby items such as clothing, diapers, formula, blankets, and other necessities that help a mother prepare for her newborn.
Each donated item becomes part of a thoughtfully assembled “nesting” gift basket—designed to ease the burden of those first weeks and remind mothers that they are not alone. These baskets are distributed through Choices Pregnancy Care to women who may be facing challenging circumstances, offering both encouragement and tangible care.
By participating in this ministry, our church has the opportunity to reflect Christ’s compassion in a very real way—meeting physical needs while pointing to the greater hope found in Him. Whether you give one item or many, your generosity helps create a warm and welcoming start for both mother and child.
The Basket will be driven to the Pregancy Care Center on Mother's Day.
