Church Family,
Thank you for the warm outpouring of support I received on Sunday Morning. I was so full of joy to look around the sanctuary and see many of your pictures and encouraging words to me placed in the areas of the church where you normally sit.
I read ever single comment and was moved to tears by your kindness. Preaching to an empty room is not easy so your encouragement made it so much better. There are good people in all churches, but I think the best ones are at our church. 

I so appreciate Reagan Berry , who was the brainchild and coordinator. You all are too kind and I am deeply thankful for each of you. 

At a time like this, we all need encouragement. Perhaps you could write a card, make a phone call or stop by someone's house at chat with them from the sidewalk while they are on the front porch. Our staff is working hard to contact senior adults in our church and we would welcome your help. If you would like to be part of a virtual caregiver team where you would be assigned 6-8 people to call, please reply to this message to let me know.

Please continue to share in worshiping together online and taking advantage of the abundant resources our ministers are making available to you. 

The sermon notes and bulletin will be available in the Friday Reminder email, on our website, and shared on the Facebook Page. Paper copies of the sermon notes are available in the hallway outside the church office. 

You DO NOT need a Facebook account to watch the service. Simply click this link or visit our website and it will take you to the stream.

GIVING
Even though we are not worshiping in person, our church still has the same financial needs.  Please continue to give your tithes and offerings   to support the work of our church. The easiest way is to set up recurring giving at versaillesbaptist.org/giving You can give one time or set up an account to give on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis.
If you prefer not to give online, you can drop off a check at the church or mail a check to 125 East Green Street Versailles KY 40383. 

NEW! You can Text to Give! Text GIVE to 859-800-3125.
Here is an EXCELLENT tutorial on how to set up online giving at Versailles Baptist Church. Watch it for easy step by step instructions that show you on the screen exactly what to do.
Sunday School Groups
Many of our Sunday School groups have been able to "meet" each week by way of video chatting through Zoom. While this is no substitute for gathering face to face, it has been so encouraging for many to stay connected. If you are not part of a Sunday School group already, please let Jonathan know ( jonathan@versaillesbaptist.org ), and he will get you connected with one digitally! While you may feel like it would be better to wait to join a group, we believe the connection our groups provide people make this an excellent time to join.  

Devotionals for you and your family
We have great resources and devotional books that can be picked up outside the office for families to use. We have some available for individuals and for families. These books are discounted to $5 and money can be placed in the donation box.
Inspirational Music Playlist   Pastor Will has created a devotional playlist on Spotify full of songs meant to help encourage us during the uncertainly surrounding COVID-19. 
Children Discipleship Resources  - Autumn has provided a study guide for parents to lead their children in family Bible study. Check out this week's lesson.
Student Ministry Info Update One thing we learned in the Corona Shut Down is that we have some gaps in our information. Please take 49 seconds per student to fill this out. We have lots of great group leaders and Sunday School Teachers and this will help them connect with and serve you and our students. You should be able to share the link to any families who might want to submit contact info.
Youth Corona Virus Curriculum  - Pastor Kevin has developed a Corona virus Curriculum where students are encouraged to watch a series of videos to deepen their faith. These videos are short in duration, entertaining, and very inspirational. 
Your prayers and gifts to the   Annie Armstrong Easter Offering provide support for thousands of missionaries. These men and women are planting new churches in unreached communities and meeting needs through compassion ministries. Every day, lives are being impacted and transformed. Help us reach this year’s goal of $12,000. Donate here !
Food Pantry Need
The Food Pantry for Woodford County is remaining in operation and could use our help for supplies. This is a difficult time for many and we want to help. The church is collecting canned carrots, pork & beans, mixed vegetables and peas . They are NOT in need of green beans or corn. Drop off donations at the church Monday - Friday 8-5 pm. Please leave donations in the hallway outside of the office. We will then take donations to the Food Pantry. Again, please leave donations in the marked location in the hallway.
