Vacation Bible School Outreach Preparation - This year children 4 years through 5th grade will learn the power of God at Group's Crocodile Dock deep in the heart of the bayou. VBS dates are June 29 - July 3 from 9 am - 12:30 pm. Registration will begin in mid April and we'll need all leaders' children registered first. Look for upcoming announcements or on the website, www.heritagebaptistonline.com for more details. If you'd like to be a part of this meaningful ministry, please contact Everett Golihew or Brandi Eckert.
Attention Congregation: We are asking for your help by collecting supplies to bring the mossy, swampy bayou to Heritage Baptist Church. Please note that not all supplies need to be "new." You can drop supplies in the box marked "VBS Donations" outside the church office. The following items are needed: 1) lots of cheese cloth; 2) clear packing tape; 3) natural colored rope and twine; 4) rolls of brown paper; 5) old greenery, ivy or leafy vines; 6) large flattened cardboard boxes and 7) fish nets.
Last Sunday evening, March 15th, two automobiles were broken into on the church parking lot. Please be careful and watchful when you are parking at church after dark. Please leave nothing of value in sight! The trustees are asking for volunteers to patrol the parking lot during our services. If you notice any damage to your vehicle, please call the church office, 410-263-6680.
On Monday, March 30, at 11:30, the Heritage Seniors will host a fellowship luncheon for a tour group made up of Baptists from various locations in Oklahoma. Meat and cheese platters, rolls, chips and drinks are being provided. We are asking that you bring either a salad or dessert and join us for a time of fellowship with these folks. Ralph will be providing musical entertainment for us after the meal. Please sign up on the sheet located on the senior adult bulletin board so we know how many to prepare for.
The Men's Prayer Breakfast will take place on Saturday, April 4, at 8 am. The guest speaker will be a religious leader. In order to know how many to prepare for a sign up sheet is posted on the bulletin board by the church office.

OUR MISSION
We believe Heritage Baptist Church exists to be a beacon reflecting God's unconditional love in Annapolis and surrounding communities.

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.
