Be the Light for Those Who’ve Served

Following God’s call often comes with sacrifice. Many retired ministers, missionaries, and widowed spouses have served faithfully for decades, yet they may face life’s later seasons without the resources they need whether it’s coping with health challenges, the loss of a spouse, or the loneliness that can come with isolation.

These are the people who have been a light in moments of joy, grief, uncertainty, and hope, praying with us, guiding us through Scripture, walking beside our families, and reminding us of God’s presence; missionaries who served where we could not; and faithful leaders whose dedication helped shape American Baptist Churches USA into the vibrant community it is today.

Your offering is more than a donation; it is a heartfelt expression of love and gratitude. It helps provide emergency assistance and a “Thank You” check to those who have devoted 15 or more years of their lives to God’s service.  Each time a check is received, it’s more than financial support, it’s a reminder that they are still part of a loving church family that sees them, remembers them, and honors their service.

Our special offering for the month of December is the Retired Ministers and Missionaries Offering. YOU MAY MAKE YOUR GIFT TO THIS OFFERING BY WRITING YOUR CHECK TO: “PRAIRIE BAPTIST CHURCH”, MARKED “RMMO” IN THE MEMO LINE.
