Celebration of Dedication

Bay Springs Baptist Church of Porterville, MS, invites all friends, acquaintances, and former members to join our fellowship in a CELEBRATION OF DEDICATION for our newly re-decorated and expanded auditorium at 11:00 AM Sunday 30th in the Year of Our Lord 2011.

God has graciously blessed us, and we want to take this means to express our appreciation for those blessings. He has directed our deliberations, and guided our actions while providing the necessary resources.

Bay Springs Baptist Church has a long history of God’s workings, and this new construction simply builds upon the selfless faithfulness of those who God worked through in years past to build and sustain this vibrant fellowship in these useful facilities.

The roll call of those who have faithfully labored in Christ’s service through this fellowship continues to expand with each succeeding generation, but each generation owes a debt to those who preceded them as they laid the firm foundation upon which to build.

Plan now to join us in this time of celebration.

Building Progress, Pt. 2

Scott — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 07:36:33 +0000

Construction began late in September on an extension of the pulpit area and will continue throughout December.

The BSBC membership approved the construction project in August. The project addresses a number of important issues with the church auditorium. The stage/pulpit area was to be greatly expanded, incorporating risers for choir purposes and electrical and signal hookups for instrumentalists. The baptistry was to be raised for full congregational viewing, complemented with dressing rooms, showers, and all-new plumbing.

Everyone is welcome to take a look at the project, as long as it is done with caution. Children in particular should be supervised with care if allowed in the area.

This is the second in what has become a series of postings complete with a photo-gallery.
