We are so blessed to have them on our staff and as loving members of our church family. Following the service a reception will take place in their honor.
We welcome to our pulpit this morning Dr. Walter (Buddy) Shurden. Dr. Shurden founder of the Center for Baptist Studies at Mercer University has been described as a “(distinctively Baptist) church historian, teacher, preacher, author and Baptist apologist extraordinaire.”

Amy Henry, Nursery Coordinator, would like gently used (clean) or new toys for our nursery. The age requirement is birth to 24 months. If you have toys you would like to donate, please bring them to the church office, or call Amy at 410-257-5298.
Help the Helping Fund: Our church has a fund set up for the purpose of helping people to pay their gas and electric bill or rent when they have no money. In most cases Heritage Baptist Church is a last resort before having their utilities turned off or being evicted for not paying rent. As of now, less than $1,669.40 remains available which is not enough to meet the needs for the fall and winter months when utilities are particularly heavy. We ask those who are able and would like to see their money go directly to the needy to please make a contribution to the Helping Fund. Your generosity will be rewarded.
Food Pantry Distribution: Tuesday, September 15th – Betty Gottwald and Thursday, September 17th – Jean Mitchell.

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.
