The Red Rose on the communion table is in glad announcement of the birth of Jackson Anthony Boord, son born to Richard and Maria Boord on February 13^th.  Jackson joins his sister Isabella, and his brothers Aidan and Hunter.

You are invited to participate in a "Musical inventory party" this Saturday, February 28, at 10:00 a.m. in the choir room.  We will be meeting for fellowship and refreshments as we count the various items of sheet music in our library, at the suggestion of our insurance friends.  Musical ability is not required!

Sunday evening, March 1^st, we will host an evening with Dr. Keith Jones.  There will be a meal for all attendees and after the meal Dr. Jones will speak about the core values which evangelical believers hold and from which their Christian lives find expression.  He will specifically explain how these core values challenge him in his leadership of the seminary and how the seminary attempts to ground students in these values during their studies in Prague. 

Copies of the Church Directory for 2009 are available on a table in the narthex.  We request one directory per family.

Help! Help!  We are in desperate need once again for help in our nursery, two and three year olds and four and five year olds extended session time during the worship service.  Lead teachers as well as assistants are needed.  The only qualification needed is your love for children.  The children enjoy this experience more than an adult worship service (if you get my meaning)!  If you would be willing to help with this important ministry, please contact Amy Henry, 410-257-5298, or email her at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

OUR MISSION

We believe Heritage Baptist Church exists to be a beacon reflecting God's unconditional love in Annapolis and surrounding communities.  Using the Bible as our guide, our purpose is to share the Gospel message so that others may become followers of Jesus Christ and to provide an environment that facilitates the strengthening of believers.  Each member, like every disciple of Christ, is commissioned to be faithful in the worship of God, Christian ministry, and fellowship with believers.  We will continually look to God for power and direction to chart our course.

The following persons have been called to serve as leaders and enablers by the congregation.
