Today marks the fourth anniversary of Ralph Manuel as our Minister of Music. He and his wife Donna and their children, James and Melissa, mean so much to us. We love and appreciate all you do!
The Ladies Sunday School class began a 6-week Bible study today titled "The Frazzled Female" by Cindie Wood. The study is described as a resource designed especially for women. "By sitting at the feet of Jesus and absorbing His teaching, women will be able to deal with essential issues like managing their time, getting along with difficult people, taking time for themselves, and even organizing their lives." It is described as thought-provoking yet light-hearted. Interested ladies are invited to join the class for this study. Please contact Barbara Smith or any class member if interested.

Heritage is hosting a Soup-er Bowl fund raiser for the Annapolis Light House Shelter for the homeless, immediately following today's worship service. Chef Zachary Pope has prepared a selection of hearty soups and chili (along with salad and dessert) for lunch in the fellowship hall. Admission is free, but donations are requested to benefit the Light House Shelter.

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.
