• Message from Henry Cannington
         As we gather for the semi-annual meeting of the Taylor Baptist Association, we are reminded of the critical nature of the mission that God has entrusted to us. Our theme for this meeting, "The Clock is Running Out: A Call to Urgency in Our Mission," challenges us to reflect on the time we have left to impact our communities and the world for Christ. The urgency to serve, to share the Gospel, and to fulfill the Great Commission has never been more pressing.
         Our guest speaker, Kenny Sexton, will bring a powerful word of encouragement and inspiration. Kenny's testimony is a testament to the transforming power of God's grace and the urgent call to mission that each of us carries. Through his personal journey, we will be reminded that every moment counts in the work of the Kingdom. We are confident that his message will stir the hearts of our pastors and churches, motivating each of us to serve with renewed passion and a sense of urgency.
  In addition to our time of worship and inspiration, we also want to take this opportunity to celebrate the incredible faithfulness of our churches. Your consistent giving continues to make a significant impact in the advancement of the Gospel. We commend each congregation for your steadfast commitment to support the work of the Taylor Baptist Association and the Kingdom of God. The results of our shared efforts are evident in the lives transformed and the Gospel proclaimed in ways we could never accomplish alone.
         One of the highlights of the last month has been the incredible success of the 3/16 on 3/16 Evangelistic Outreach. Through your hard work and commitment, this initiative has reached far beyond what we could have imagined. Churches and volunteers came together, sharing the message of hope with countless individuals, and we are seeing fruit from these efforts. Lives are being changed, hearts are being turned to Christ, and we are reminded of the power of collaborative ministry. The results speak for themselves, and we are deeply grateful for everyone who participated and supported this event.
         As we move forward, we are reminded that the clock is indeed running out. Each moment is an opportunity to share the Gospel, to love our neighbors, and to be the hands and feet of Christ in a world that desperately needs Him. Let this meeting serve as a rallying point for all of us-pastors, churches, and individuals-to renew our commitment to the mission and to serve with urgency, knowing that the time we have to make a difference is precious.
         We look forward to seeing you at the meeting on Monday April 14th, where we will be challenged, encouraged, and equipped to continue the work that God has called us to. Together, we can accomplish far more than we ever could alone. Let's keep pressing forward with urgency, knowing that our labor is not in vain.
         May God bless you all as we continue to serve Him with faithfulness and urgency.
  
  
               Henry Cannington
