  From Summer Slump to Summer Jump!
  Taylor Baptist Association - July Newsletter Article
  
  This summer, God is on the move in Taylor County! What many once called the "Summer Slump" has turned into a Summer Jump as the Lord blesses our churches with renewed energy, engagement, and kingdom fruitfulness.
  
  In June, we saw the Spirit of God touch lives through Vacation Bible Schools, youth camps, and mission opportunities. Children and youth across our community have heard the gospel, and many have responded in faith. God is stirring hearts, and we give Him the glory!
  
  Several of our churches are still planning to hold Vacation Bible School this month. Please lift them up in prayer as they prepare and serve. The extra efforts and faithful service of our church members continue to be God's hands and feet, reaching Taylor County-and even the world-with the good news of Jesus Christ.
  
  As we celebrate Independence Day, we thank God for the freedoms we enjoy in this great nation. What a privilege it is to openly proclaim the gospel and make disciples here in our free state and country. Let us never take that freedom for granted.
  
  Church clerks: our association office is ready to assist you with your Annual Church Profile (ACP). Don't hesitate to reach out if we can be of help. Your reports help tell the story of what God is doing in and through your church.
  
  Also, mark your calendars for a powerful and practical Church Leadership Workshop scheduled for Saturday, September 13, 2025. This event is being planned to help equip our leaders, strengthen our churches, and encourage unity in our shared mission.
  
  We truly are blessed to serve the Lord together in this season of growth and momentum. Let?s continue to pray, serve, and share Jesus until all in Taylor County and beyond know the hope of the gospel!
  
  Gratefully serving with you,
  Henry Cannington Director of Missions
  Taylor Baptist Association
