U.S. POSTAGE PAID KERR MEMORIAL BAPTIST CHURCH

The mission of Kerr Memorial Baptist Church is to share the love of God with our neighbors. Our family of faith unites together in fellowship and worship. We demonstrate our commitment through living the lifestyle of the teachings of Jesus Christ. We seek to address the unique needs of each generation

through reaching, teaching and equipping for One Christ$One Church$One People.

FROM OUR PASTOR Just days ago the New York Legislature voted to make third-trimester abortions legal. Then the New York governor signed the bill into law. People in New York then celebrated this atrocity. It is interesting that New York State rejects the death penalty as being cruel and unusual punishment, but accepts the killing of innocent babies. Death is too harsh for cold-blooded killers, but is perfectly fine for innocent babies. I believe at least seven other states, plus the District of Columbia, have the same horrendous abortion laws. The moral compass of our nation is broken, and the light of God-fearing Christians is needed more than ever. Will you reject the evil and hypocrisy of our nation and stand faithfully for Jesus Christ and the Bible?

Kerr’s Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) will begin on Sunday, February 3rd, collecting items year round for the Samaritan’s Purse Shoeboxes. They would like to extend this mission project to the entire church. Each month, there will be specific items for us to focus on collecting and they will be printed in the monthly Messenger as well as advertised on the morning’s announcements. Also, if you do not like to shop, you can just donate money to help pay for the shipping fees and also to purchase more items to top off the boxes. Then, everyone will be invited in early November to pack and pray over our boxes. We pray this mission project will be enjoyed by all as we send the love of Jesus and a much needed smile to a child and extend the opportunity for him/her to come to the saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ! If you have any questions, please see: Sandra Campbell, Jean Kennedy, Jennifer Campbell, or Margaret Martin.

FEBRUARY’S ITEMS: Hats, Gloves, Scarves, & Accessories (watches, hairbows, sunglasses, etc.)
