Make A Joyful Noise!

Worship Leader: Chris Patch

I often talk about how important it is to live a life of worship, rather than just worship on Sunday mornings. In my opinion, a big part of living a life of worship is TRUST. Do you trust that God is worthy of your worship… that He is who He says He is?

This Sunday we are singing a song that perfectly describes this trust called ‘Way Maker’. The chorus of this powerful song says that God is the “Way Maker”, the “Miracle Worker”, the “Promise Keeper”, and the “Light in the darkness”, who is worthy of our worship! Amen to that! One of my favorite parts of this song is the bridge that says “Even when I don’t see it, You’re working… Even when I don’t feel it, You’re working… You never stop working!” I don’t know about you, but that just fills my heart with peace! Aren’t you glad that we worship a God who we can trust to always make a way for us, even when we don’t feel it? God is good… All the time!

Looking forward to worshipping with you on Sunday!

Your worship leader,

Chris Patch

I want to take a moment to celebrate the generosity of Bon Air Baptist Church.  Your faithfulness has allowed God’s love to be shared in Palo Grande, Nicaragua, Ghana, Southwest Florida, and in Richmond.  I am thankful to serve a church that is faithful and quick to respond to God’s call.

Since November, Bon Air Baptist has sponsored 79 children in Palo Grande, provided $1,000 to purchase clean out buckets for Immokalee, Florida, adopted 144 children through our Angel Tree ministry, provided many, many Advent food bags for our Food Distribution Ministry, and collected $13,725 through the H.O.P.E Store for both local and international mission partners.  That is amazing!!  Great job!

I hope you are praying about how you can be involved in God’s exciting mission work in 2023!  

JOY,

Pastor Brian
