“In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18


Many passages in God’s word remind us to give thanks. As we approach this special time of year when we celebrate Thanksgiving, I wonder how often we give thanks for everything we experience in this life. I know we gather as families and church families to give thanks and thank God for His blessings during this time of year, but do we give thanks every day? Can we give thanks for the trials and difficulties that come into our lives? The scripture is clear that we must give thanks in all things because it is God’s will. I can tell you from personal experience that when I give thanks for the trials that have come into my life, I draw closer to God and my mind is set on Him and not my circumstances. I honestly believe when we follow God’s will and give thanks for everything, including the bad things that happen to us in this life, God will bless us more than we expect! My challenge for all of us is to give thanks every day in all things, not just during Thanksgiving celebrations.


I want to personally invite all our Ministers and their wives to a special Christmas banquet which will be held on December 2nd at 6:30 p.m. at Pinecrest Baptist Church. We will enjoy a great meal together as well as enjoy some Christmas music as we celebrate our Savior's birth! I hope that every Pastor and Staff including wives will attend this special evening!


I am praying for each Pastor and their congregations as God works in every church and every life! We are moving into a season where we can minister to many people and share the love of Christ. May we all be sensitive to the needs in our communities and show them that we love them and that God loves them!


Bro. Gary

Please pray for our Nation and the Election!

The association office has a small emergency food pantry that ministers to those in need. Many of those who we assist only have a microwave and do not have access to a stove and/or oven, so the above listed items are primarily needed.



(Please check the expiration dates before donating.)


THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP WITH THIS MINISTRY.

YOUR DONATIONS, AND ESPECIALLY YOUR PRAYERS, ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

What to do with all those old Sunday School books? 


Don’t throw them away–bring them to SCBN Office


Bring your old SS literature to SCBN Center. (Please have the literature packed in good boxes) Chad Harris will take it to an Edwin L. Hodges Ministries collection site to send overseas. ELHM is a Christian literature ministry that collects donated Bibles, books, magazines, tapes, and tracts from American Christians and ships them to Bible schools, churches, missionaries, and ministries overseas. ELHM is a non-denominational, nonprofit, evangelical ministry.
