Thankfultogether

First Baptist Church of Troy and the East Troy Baptist Church normally hold their own separate services as a yoked parish. But for this Thanksgiving season, the congregations came together for a morning worship. The choir was awesome as members of both churches united to sing an inspirational Thanksgiving anthem. Then all joined together for a delectable, delicious Thanksgiving banquet.

Tabernacle Tech

The Baptist Tabernacle Church in Wilkes-Barre PA has vastly improved its technology platform to provide Live Streaming of its services.

The equipment was purchased using ABCOPAD Tech grants. Installed by their resident IT person over the summer, the congregation is now able to provide high quality recordings to its membership that are unable to attend church in person due to COVID19.

Pastor Valerie Black reports: "We are hopeful that this enhanced capability will be seen by our members, neighborhood, and on-line communities as a huge positive and that on-line attendance will increase significantly. We have updated outreach efforts, using signage, flyers, newsletters, and social media posts – including our own Facebook Group, to inform folks of the Live Streamed services."

Christmas is a-comin'

Operation Christmas Child at FBC Greenville. Check out how amazing it is when people come together where children are involved. Recently, the congregation packed 160 boxes, but the final count was actually 212 boxes!
