  From Summer Slump to Summer Jump!
  Taylor Baptist Association - July Newsletter Article
  
        As the calendar turns to August, we find ourselves stepping into a new church year, and what a tremendous opportunity it is to relaunch our efforts in reaching our communities for Christ. The churches of the Taylor Baptist Association are not content with simply maintaining-we are moving forward with bold faith, gospel urgency, and a unified heart for the Great Commission. But now, as we look ahead, we see August not as a conclusion of summer but as a launching pad for gospel advance.
  
  Celebrating Legacy and Looking to the Future
        Mt. Gilead Baptist Church, the oldest church in our association, is leading by example in celebrating 175 years of faithful gospel ministry. What better way to honor the past than to recommit ourselves to the mission that brought our churches into being: sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.
  
  Revival Fires in Steinhatchee
        Revival is not a memory-it is our prayer and pursuit. Our Steinhatchee churches are fanning the flames of renewal with a Youth Revival on August 8th and 9th.
  
  Back to School, Back to Mission
        August also brings with it incredible opportunities to show the love of Christ to our neighbors. First Baptist Church in Perry made a major impact through their Back to School Bash. By providing backpacks and school supplies, they are tangibly meeting needs while sowing seeds of gospel hope.
  
  Equipping and Encouraging Women
        On August 23, New Home Baptist Church is hosting a Ladies Day Out Conference, followed by a Sing-Along event on August 31st. We praise God for churches that recognize the importance of building up believers for deeper discipleship and more effective witness.
  
  One Association, One Mission
        The unity, creativity, and evangelistic focus of our churches are a testimony to the work of the Holy Spirit among us. As Southern Baptists, we are defined by our cooperative spirit, our unwavering belief in the power of the gospel, and our shared commitment to reach every person for Jesus Christ. Our bold mission thrust must not slow down-it must press forward with even greater urgency
  (Matthew 28:19-20).
  
        Let us continue to be a people on mission-rooted in Scripture, empowered by the Spirit, and united in the gospel.
  
  Together for the Gospel,
  Henry B. Cannington Jr.
