TENNESSEE VALLEY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION

July 2021 Newsletter
LINE 
from  your fellow pastor and
DOM, Dr. David H. Haynes
423-802-9386
 
                 I praise the Lord for our new church plant, Blessed Hope Baptist (Iglesia Bautista De La Esperanza). They will have their very first VBS on July 12th through the 16th, and it will be during the day from  9 am till noon. I appreciate those who have stepped up to assist with supplies and/or to volunteer. I ask that you pray for them during this time that God will use them to bring the gospel to children as well as their parents. Like their worship services, the program will be done in English and Spanish, and is open to all ethnicity. But I also ask you pray that this will be a door to make contacts among the Hispanic community. This could bring even more opportunities in the future. You are welcome to bring your children or grandchildren.
       Our Wheelchair ministry continues to go well. I appreciate all those who are working in the incredible ministry. Not only do we assist those who are desperate for help, but it also gives us an opportunity to share the gospel with them. Please let me know if you or your church wants to get involved in this incredible ministry.
       Our Annual Meeting will be on October 21st and will be held at Dayton First Baptist. The Executive Director of the TBMB, Dr. Randy Davis, will be our speaker. While we will conduct the business required, we want this night to be about worship and fellowship. I hope that all of our messengers will be there that night to hear Dr. Davis speak and worship in unity.
