  This month marks a special time in the life of the Taylor Baptist Association as we gather for our Annual Meeting. Our theme, "Rooted and Rising: Preparing for God's Harvest in the Big Bend," beautifully captures where we have been, where we are, and where God is leading us.
  
  Rooted. Over the past few years, our churches have faced storms-literally. Three hurricanes and significant economic loss shook our communities, but not our faith. Like deep-rooted trees in a storm, our churches stood firm because we are anchored in Christ. The perseverance of God's people has been a testimony to His sustaining grace.
  
  Rising. Today, God is positioning us for growth. New families and individuals are moving into the Big Bend region, and with them comes fresh opportunity. We believe God is preparing to raise up new ministries, new leaders, and new disciples as we welcome those, He sends our way.
  
  Harvest. Our mission field is no longer across the ocean alone?it is right here at our doorstep. God is sending the nations, the broken, the seeking, and the hurting into our communities. The fields are truly white unto harvest, and we must be ready to labor together for His Kingdom.
  
  Future-Focused. As an association, we are not just rebuilding buildings, we are rebuilding ministries for the next generation. This is a call to look beyond what has been lost and to see what God is preparing. Our children and grandchildren deserve vibrant churches and strong ministries that will carry the gospel forward in Taylor County and beyond.
  
  At this Annual Meeting, we will also highlight an important way each church can help us prepare for the future-the Annual Church Profile (ACP). This information is vital in telling the story of what God is doing across our association. Our goal this year is for 100% of our churches to complete their profile. Each report, no matter the size of the congregation, paints a part of the picture of God's activity in the Big Bend.
  
  I am amazed at the great work God is doing in our churches. From faithful pastors and leaders to new ministries being birthed, there is evidence everywhere that the Lord is at work among us. Let's remain rooted in Him, rise together in faith, and prepare for the harvest He has promised.
  
  Together in Christ,
  Henry B. Cannington Jr. Taylor Baptist Association
