2. a note from the CCM Director, Brenda! July 2008 Newsletter page 2 Notes from the Baptist Center: I admit it…I am a news junkie! I feel the need to be informed about things that are happening in our world. Every morning, as I drink my coffee, I catch up on what happened while I was sleeping. Most of what I hear is not good news. Gas prices are rising, food costs are soaring, tomatoes are not good for us…the list goes on and on. Then I take out the word of God and read the Good News! Jesus Christ is still on the throne. Salvation is still a gift from God. And no matter what is happening in this world, the God we love and serve is still all powerful! This news needs to be spread like wildfire in and around Floyd County. That’s what we do at the Baptist Center. We tell the glorious Good News of Jesus Christ to those who come for help. You can be a part of this just by volunteering with us. There is no greater reward for Christians than to tell someone who is hurting that Jesus loves them. What are you waiting for? A Note from our DOM, Jim I am excited to introduce to you our new counselor at the Baptist Association, Curtis Heyward! Curtis is an ordained minister who attended New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary & received a Master of Divinity degree in Psychology and Counseling. Orginally from Georgia, Curtis has worked since 2004 in Mississippi in a Mental Health Center conducting individual & group counseling sessions for children & teenagers. He has also worked as a counselor for adults in an office setting. Curtis is married to Loresa and they have two children, Richie & Jamie. They are currently in the process of finding a home here in Rome. If you would like Curtis to speak his heart about this wonderful ministry at your church or small group, please call 706-291-9992. Bethany Hadaway, our previous counselor, has returned to Arizona to be married. - Jim Calvary Baptist179 Enon Baptist 78 1 st Baptist Lindale188 Friendship Baptist114 Grace Fellowship133 Hollywood Baptist106 Pleasant Hope Baptist 73 South Broad Baptist182 West Rome Baptist344 The Georgia Baptist Convention has announced: Fastest Growing Sunday Schools Medium Churches (200-399 avg SS) #7 – New Antioch Baptist #19 – Pleasant Valley North Baptist Leading Churches in Baptisms Intermediate Churches (125-249 in worship) #33 Sherwood Forest Baptist Medium Church (250-499 in worship) #58 – 1 st Baptist Lindale *Don’t see your church info?
