On Sunday night, October 9, the church family is invited to stay after the evening service for a time of food and fellowship to honor Preacher and Mrs. Raynes on the occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary (October 7).

Brother and Sister Raynes have been a blessing to the church family at Progress Baptist, and we are thankful for their Godly testimony down through the years.
On Monday, October 10, our Senior Saints and a few friends will make a day trip to Helen, GA, to enjoy the fall color and some good fellowship! We’ll leave the church at 9:00 A.M. and return in the early evening.
On Saturday morning, October 1, 2011, we will continue our outreach into the greater Hendersonville area. We will meet at the church at 10:00 A.M. and divide into groups before heading out with the John/Romans/Church Info packets. We had a great turnout a few weeks ago, and we have seen God honor the effort. Let’s pray and ask God to prepare hearts to receive the gospel. We should also pray for Him to add to the church! By His grace, we have the answers this world needs. Let’s go in the power of the Holy Spirit and trust God for a harvest of souls.
