• Message from Henry Cannington
         As we move into the month of May, we continue to celebrate how the Lord is working through the churches of the Taylor Baptist Association. Our mission remains clear: to encourage, equip, and engage our biblically faithful churches in fulfilling the Great Commission?for the glory of God and the good of our communities.
  
  A Month of Mobilization and Ministry
         We are deeply grateful for the extraordinary efforts poured into Serve Taylor this April. From Steinhatchee to Shady Grove, our churches stepped out of their sanctuaries and into the streets with the love of Christ. The block parties, laundromat outreach, community gospel sings, senior adult revival gatherings, addiction recovery revivals, and countless other initiatives were not only creative?they were Christ-centered. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus in your neighborhoods. Your boldness in service has been a powerful witness and a true catalyst for gospel conversations throughout our county.
  
  Disaster Relief Training - May 17
         We now turn our attention to two major ministry opportunities in the month ahead. First, we invite you to join us for Disaster Relief Training, hosted by First Baptist Church of Perry on May 17th. This state-led training event is a vital part of our equipping mission. Whether it?s preparing meals, clearing debris, offering chaplaincy, or simply providing a compassionate presence in times of crisis, Disaster Relief gives our churches practical ways to respond with hope when disaster strikes. We encourage pastors and members alike to attend and get certified to serve.
  
  Summer Outreach - Camps, VBS, and More
         Second, summer is almost here, and with it comes tremendous gospel opportunities through youth camps, Vacation Bible Schools, and other outreach activities. These efforts are more than events, they are investments in the next generation. Let?s continue to pray and prepare for what God will do as children and teenagers hear the gospel, many for the very first time, and as families are drawn into the life of the church through these ministries.
         Churches of the Taylor Baptist Association, we commend you. You are living out our shared mission. You are encouraging the discouraged, equipping the willing, and engaging the lost. Keep pressing forward in faithfulness, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
  
  
               For His glory,
               Henry Cannington
