The month of October has been set aside annually for several causes and programs, and we just wanted to remind you about them as we continue on through the month. Perhaps, God is even challenging you to take action and get involved. October is…
Thank you so much for getting involved at our recent purse exchange event. Because of your generosity and desire to get involved, $254.80 was raised for the missionary wives who will be with us in our 2012 missions conference.
Also, many purses are still available for purchase. Check out the table in the lobby this Sunday for another opportunity to support missionary wives.
This weekend we’re encouraging everyone at our church to go and see Courageous, the new movie from the producers of Facing the Giants & Fireproof.
The longevity of a film in theaters is closely associated with it’s performance on opening weekend. If it does well, it gets to stay. If it does poorly, it is replaced by a higher grossing film, probably one that’s been in theaters for a while. And, the longer the film is in theaters the broader its impact. It will reach more people with the message of the Gospel if it is well-supported by people of faith. If we don’t support faith-based movies like this, fewer will be made. If we will support movies such as this, the movie studios will finance more. It’s as simple as that.
So…
Free childcare will be provided at the church from 3:45-7:45 by the great people who are part of our AWANA team.
Also…
Invite some friends to go with you.
See you this weekend at the movies!
We are so excited about our upcoming Student Ministries all-night event. Our theme for this event is “The Good Life,” and it’s based on John 10:10. This verse tells us that Jesus came to bring to us abundant living, a good life. In addition to exploring this concept more, we’ll be having tons of fun…all night long!
All students 6th grade through 12th grade are invited to join us at this event on August 26-27. The drop-off time is between 7:15 & 7:45, and the pick-up time is 7:00am on Saturday.
For just $20, we’ll have a night full of fun, games, prizes, lots of pizza, a dodgeball tournament, a couple of hours at Fun Spot in Orlando, and a challenging talk from a guy named Aaron.
We hope you can come!

This last Tuesday, August 2nd, we had the opportunity to partake in Sanford’s National Night Out Against Crime. This is an event where each community holds a rally with the local police department to fight against crime. Palmetto Avenue Baptist Church used this time to show our community, Sanford, FL, that we are here, and that we support the Sanford Police Department in the fight against crime. We showcased all of our ministries (PABC, Church At The GYM, and Liberty Christian School.
We had about thirty-five volunteers come out and be a part of this awesome event! A big thank you to all of the volunteers who made this happen! We definitely let the community know that our church exists, and we are all about helping our community!
