Dear Sister Churches:

    The Ladies Ministry of Calvary Baptist Church would like to invite you to share in the project “TBI Students’ Christmas.” Christmas is a time for showing love to family and friends, sharing with them what God has so richly blessed us with.
    As many of you know, most of the students of Texas Baptist Institute-Seminary do not have the opportunity to provide as well for their families as they would like due to full-time school and part-time work. We would like to ask you to prayerfully consider joining us in blessing the students this Christmas. Please ask God what He would have you send for this wonderful Christmas outreach. Calvary Ladies will divide the money between the students and let them purchase the items they need to make Christmas special for their family.
    Last year churches, auxiliaries, brotherhoods and individuals shared their love in Christ and contributed many thousand dollars to this worthy endeavor. The Christmas season was a lot more joyful and festive for the students and their families.
    We want to thank you in advance for sharing your love with those who serve HIM. You will receive as much a blessing as the students do.
    Offerings must be received by December 15 in order to give the gifts before school dismisses for the Christmas holidays.

    Send offerings marked TBI Student Christmas Fund to:

FIRE DESTROYED CHURCH BUILDING

    The beautiful sanctuary of the Aikin Grove MBC of Clarksville, Texas was recently destroyed by fire of undetermined origin. Firemen were able to save the Fellowship Hall. The church had good insurance that will help greatly in the rebuilding and furnishing of their sanctuary.
    Until the rebuilding is completed, all services will be held in the Fellowship Hall. Please remember to pray for Pastor James Brown who also lost his dear wife earlier this year. Also pray for the church as they work through this time of rebuilding. May our heavenly Father bless you all in the service of our Lord Jesus Christ.
