We finished up an OT book that painted a picture of redemption. There is another institution, designed by God, that should point to Jesus! It is the Family. We are beginning a new series titled “A View of the Family.” It is one that personally should challenge every believer. Join us as we open the Word of God together and see how God designed the family, to become part of the church and be the change agent in this world He has created.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE ON A CAREPORTAL
Join the CarePortal Team!
CarePortal partners with social services to help keep families together by addressing various needs, especially for children. These needs may include financial assistance (rent, electric bills, car payments, insurance) or tangible items like clothing and school supplies. Every family is fully vetted by social services before their request is sent out through CarePortal.
By signing up, you will receive email notifications of these needs and can choose to help based on your ability. Together, we can support families in our community and possibly build lasting relationships with them.
There is a great need for volunteers in Amherst County, and we are also seeking a Co-Chair to help lead this ministry. For more information, please see Tricia Hardy or contact her at 434-841-9836/ email: sunyhil@yahoo.com.
It is time again for the annual Clifford Baptist Church Fall Festival. If you are unfamiliar with the Fall Festival, it is a carnival type festival/party on the night of Halloween, Oct. 31st. Our purpose is to give the church’s children and the community’s children an alternative to trick or treating. Our mission is to have a safe environment with LOTS of games, candy, bounce houses, fun and especially JESUS! Visit our table for details and we hope you will be able to come and bring your children and Grandchildren! 1st Thess. 5:22.
We need your support. Just behind VBS, this is the second largest outreach to the community and to our children, and it cannot be done without you. We are so grateful to all who give their time, energy and candy every year to make this possible. How can you help?
*PRAYER-for the children to have fun and be ministered to, the workers to be used by Jesus, and the evening to be safe and blessed!
*We need LOTS of individually wrapped, unopened candy. No choke hazards please.
*We need about 60 people willing to spend 2 hours ministering to kids through Bible themed games and play. (If you have young children, we want you to enjoy the evening with them.) We also need greeters, parking lot helpers, and people willing to stay a little later to help with cleanup.
Please sign up today (or no later than Wed. 23rd if you can help) by clicking the sign up to volunteer button below (or sign up at the Fall Festival Table). This allows time for assignments to be organized and instructions prepared and given out on Sunday the 27th.
If you have questions, please contact Dana or Lloyd Fulcher 922-7945 (please leave a message) or e-mail geanwaltz@msn.com. We cannot thank you enough for your support. THANKYOU!
PICK UP A FLYER AT THE F.F. TABLE TO PLACE IN A LOCAL BUSINESS! INVITE PEOPLE TO COME AND GET THE WORD OUT!

one day conference
social hall
As the Apostle Paul said in Philippines 1:6, believers can be confident that Jesus who began a good work in us, will complete it until he takes us home to be with Him. During our time here, we experience different stages as the Lord works in our lives. Our conference will explore some of these stages and consider the way the Lord works through His Word to show us the way we should walk.
Cost: $25 (includes breakfast and lunch)
Deadline to Sign up: Oct. 27th
