What is the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering?

The offering was started in 1895 by Woman's Missionary Union® (WMU) to benefit the work of the Home Mission Board (now North American Mission Board). In 1934, it was named in honor of Annie Armstrong, a bold missions advocate and WMU's first national executive leader. Today, more than $2 billion has been donated by Southern Baptist churches and individuals to support thousands of missionaries in church planting and compassion ministries. Because of this sacrificial giving, millions of lives have been and continue to be transformed by the power of the gospel.

Discipleship 'N Community

Our Wednesday evening ministries focus on growing in Christ with each other by building relationships in discipleship and in community. Every Wednesday our church family has an opportunity to build community at our Fellowship Dinners served from 5:15-6pm. Cost for dinners are $4 per plate with a $20 family max. Following the dinner, discipleship classes for all adults, students, and kids run from 6:15-7:15pm. Childcare for 2yrs and under is available to anyone serving or participating in a class.

Two members from Bayside Baptist Church will embark on a mission with KAIROS Ministries to share the Gospel with men in prison. The first trip is April 9-12 and the second is April 23-26. Each person is asked to bring a minimum of 100 dozen homemade cookies as part of this ministry. There are 3 ways you can help!

1. Be on the prayer team. Each prisoner and team member is covered in constant prayer over the 3-day weekend experience. Sign-up for a 30 minute time slot.

2. Prepare the cookie dough with a group of others at church on Friday, March 13, at 10 am. Ingredients will be provided. Even if you're not a baker, every hand is a help!

3. Bake cookies at home using the prepared dough. Cookie Dough will be ready for pick-up on Sunday, March 29 and needs to be returned April 5. 

All are invited for a family friendly event! The event will include: 

• Egg Hunts
• Crafts
• Bounce House
• An Easter Experience

Come join us for what is sure to be a FUN EVENT!

This is a great opportunity for our church to show love to our community. We can let our neighbors know we are here for them, praying for them, and care about them with a simple invitation to a fun event! As you go about your day, whether shopping, at work, a school event, or just a walk in the park, look for those you can invite. Invitation cards are available at the Welcome Center. 

You can also help by making this event a fun experience for all! You can participate by helping with activities, being a greeter, or serving on the security team. We also need help prepping the night before! Use the link to sign-up to serve.  

Prayer is the most important thing we can do as a church. Join us for our Last Sunday @5 prayer time. Pastor John will lead in prayer topics as we pray in small groups. If you are in need of childcare, please email kids@baysidebc.org.
