Un Talent Night March 30, 2007

"Heaven came down and glory filled my soul" The church was nearly full and the spirit of the Lord was in this house. What a blessing it is to see God's People in God's House having a glorious time. That is what happend at Ava Missionary Baptist Church last night, as Crian Baptist Church and Ava Missionary Baptist Church came together for the first Un Talent Night of 2009. Good music, poetry, a few humerous moments, fellowship and of course food were enjoyed by all. I want to take this time to invite everyone to Easter Sunrise Services at Crain Baptist Church April 12th 2009. Services will begin at 7:00 am with an Easter Breakfast to follow at 7:30 am. The TOMB IS EMPTY and HE LIVES!!!!!!

Oh What A Day At Ava Missionary Baptist Church

What a day we had at Ava Missionary Baptist Church!  Baptism:  Baptism shows the Gospel message that Jesus died for our sins and rose again for our justification. Christ died for us (Rom. 5:8).  He arose so that we can be justified. (Romans 4:25)” Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.” 

Baptism shows that the believer has died to the old life of sin and has been raised to walk in a different life.
The believer is a new creature in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17).  The key to living the Christian life is to let Jesus live through you (Gal. 2:20). Baptism shows that the believer will one day live with Christ (v.8). When we are saved, we are guaranteed a home in heaven. (1 Thess. 4:13-17). We rejoice in welcoming Sister Denise Hobbs and Brother Richard Hobbs into the Kingdom of God and the fellowship of Ava Missionary Baptist Church. But that was not all!

      On Sunday Evening we were truly blessed by the New Life Drama Team from Cleveland TN. These five young people are fantastic! The message they presented was truly dynamic and moving in every way. They presented the Gospel in such a way that each and everyone in attendance had to feel the Holy Spirit moving in their lives.  If God's people would just pay attention to the message they presented REVIVAL would not just be a prayer of God's people but a reality for God's people. 

God Is Good

     Finally Spring has Sprung and the Lord is truly blessing us here at Ava Missionary Baptist Church. Our attendance is increasing and the Spirit of the Lord is moving in and upon His people. Our Baptistry has been repaired and tested so this Sunday March 22nd we will be having a baptisimal service. Sister Denise Hobbs and Bro. Richard Hobbs will be baptized in the morning service. thanks to Bro. Rich for the repair and painting of the baptistry!

     Sunday evening March 22nd during our Family Ministry Time the New Life Drama Team from Tennessee will be our guests. Services will begin at 6:30 and we will have a time of refreshments after the service.

     Easter Sunday also is going to be a great day. Crain Baptist Church has graciously invited us to be a part of their "Sunrise Services" at 7:00 am followed by a fellowship Breakfast at 7:30. Here at Ava we will be having an Easter Egg Hunt for the children after Morning Worship. Eggs full of goodies.
