In addition to these regular activities, we also held special events.

Our Easter Service (April), Harvest Festival (October), and Christmas Carol services (December) were all well attended, with many visitors from the local area.

Our church also hosted a men’s camp in August, which was attended by several men from other Baptist churches in the area. It was very encouraging and spiritually refreshing time for all.

Our church also hosted a Bible conference in November, and there were several visitors in attendance from the local area. The guest speaker preached the gospel, and taught the Scriptures.
-
Several members of our church took a mission trip to Berlin, to assist a German church in delivering gospel literature.
