  "Summer: A Season for Growth"
  
         Summer is here, and with it comes one of the most vital seasons in the life of our churches-a season for growth. While some may see these warmer months as a time to slow down, we know that God often uses summer as a powerful opportunity to advance His Kingdom in and through the local church.
  
         First, summer is a strategic time for leadership growth, especially for our pastors and church leaders. Whether it's through study, mentoring, or personal renewal, we must be intentional about sharpening our leadership skills to better serve the flock God has entrusted to us. I encourage every pastor and ministry leader to invest time in leadership development over these next few months.
  
         Second, summer offers wide-open doors for membership growth. Events like Vacation Bible School, youth camps, mission trips, and neighborhood outreach events present some of the best opportunities all year to engage our communities with the gospel. Let's be faithful in planting seeds and bold in inviting others to become part of God's family.
  
         Third, summer is also a time for discipleship growth. As our church calendars fill with ministry activities, let's not neglect the deeper work of growing in our walk with the Lord. Encourage your members to use these weeks to go deeper in God's Word, strengthen their prayer lives, and participate in small groups or Bible studies.
  
         I ask you to be in fervent prayer for our upcoming Southern Baptist Convention in Dallas. This is a critical time as we commission more international missionaries to reach the nations. Let's cover them in prayer and stand behind them in support.
  
         I'm especially encouraged that several of our churches are taking part in the "Baptist Beliefs" study I've been leading. This study draws from the rich theological insights of E.Y. Mullins, one of the key voices in our Southern Baptist heritage. These times of study are not just about knowledge-they are about grounding our churches in the truth that sets us free and equips us for faithful service.
  
         Finally, I urge every church in our association: get more involved in what God is doing through the Taylor Baptist Association. God is moving among us-let's not miss the opportunity to join Him.
  
  
               Together in Christ,
               Henry Cannington
