There is joyful news to share! Turner and Joann Warmack, NDBC members for 53 years, celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary on December 24, 2020. We join with them in celebrating this wonderful milestone.
Turner and Joann grew up in Chatsworth, Ga., but due to unusual circumstances their wedding took place in Louisiana. We asked Joann about that and then asked her to write it down. You won't want to miss reading her lovely recounting of those early years together, which you can do by clicking here. |

Our guest preacher this Sunday is Rev. Dr. Joel Snider, who is currently serving as NDBC’s transition advisor from the Center for Healthy Churches. Joel has been in ministry more than 30 years, including 21 years as pastor at First Baptist Church of Rome, Ga. He later spent two years as the executive director of the Community Foundation for Greater Rome, and served as interim senior minister at First Baptist Church of Athens, Ga. Currently he is interim pastor at First Baptist Church of Carrollton, Ga. He and his wife Cherry have two daughters. They live in Canton, Ga., where they are close to their grandchildren.
Because Joel serves as the interim pastor of FBC Carrollton, his sermon will come to us by pre-recorded video.

Through our missions budget, NDBC supports more than 30 organizations, including many local organizations you are already familiar with. However, we also support many national and international organizations. Over the next few months, we will share news about the important work these organizations do.
This week we are highlighting the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF), a network of individuals and churches working together to spread the hope of Christ. CBF includes partners all over the globe and supports a wide range of missions and ministries that give people meaningful opportunities to put their faith into action.
Eddie and Macarena Aldape are Cooperative Baptist Fellowship field personnel ministering to immigrants and students in Albacete, Spain. After serving 13 years in India, the Aldapes arrived in December 2015 in Spain, where they launched Centro de Esperanza (The Hope Center) to assist immigrants through the registration processes, language acquisition, cultural understanding and directing them to local organizations to meet their immediate needs. Many immigrants arriving in Spain have left everything behind and find themselves in a state of desperation, seeking opportunities to secure a better life. After facing many obstacles in Spain, a country with a severe financial crisis and an unemployment rate of 45 percent among students, the immigrants often find themselves alone and hopeless. Centro de Esperanza is a place where these newly arrived immigrants can encounter the love of Christ and renewed hope.
The Aldapes' daughter, Alyssa, serves on the staff at First Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., and many Northside Drivers will remember her as an active member of our church while she was a seminary student at McAfee. Throughout her journey CBF has been a source of support. Alyssa remembers the care she received as a "missionary kid" through CBF's member care program. She has fond memories of the Missionary Kids Camp that CBF held and described it as a lifesaver for her as a child of three cultures. Now, she serves as a member of the CBF Missions Council in addition to her work at First Baptist Washington.
