Our Fall Fun Fest will take place on Saturday from 10 am - 12 noon. Children of all ages will enjoy "trunk or treating," Dan the Magic Man, the pumpkin patch, games, prizes, hay rides, moon bounce, face painting, picture taking, popcorn, hotdogs, cookies, apple cider and more. Volunteers are still needed. Sign up today and plan to be here by 8:45 am on Saturday.
The Backpack Buddies program is actively serving twenty-three children now and thanks to your support we are able to continue providing food for these children to cover weekends and brief school holidays. If you are interested in working with the committee, please give your name to the church office, Jeannine Salyers, Frankie Morehead, or Mary Ann Fulford. Serving on the committee could entail planning the menus, purchasing supplies, filling bags, or delivering the food on a rotating basis. Generally, the food is delivered to the school on Thursday morning. This takes little time but the blessings are abundant.
A Reminder: Daylight Saving Time ends next Sunday, November 1st. Remember to fall back Saturday night and enjoy an extra hour of sleep.

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.
