Senior Citizens Day, Back to School Check-in, Yameer Green Memorial, Sunday School Book Giveaway and more!
Hi Springfield,
If you joined us for prayer yesterday morning, you know Romans 15:13 has been on my heart for a few days. It reads, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” (ESV) He’s the God of hope! What a powerful phrase. The fact that He is the God of hope gives me hope. I pray it does for you too.
There’s much to share in this week’s correspondence.
SENIOR CITIZEN DAY
On Sunday, we will celebrate Senior Citizen Day. I am very excited about it. Our special guest speaker for Sunday morning will be Rev. William Wright, Pastor of New Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Greensboro, NC. Rev. Wright has been a friend and mentor for several years and I’m glad God allowed him to be able to share with us. Make sure to join on Sunday as we thank God for our Seniors.
SATURDAY CHECK-IN
On Saturday, August 15th I plan to have a short check-in with our young people as they prepare to go back to school via ZOOM. The children’s check-in time is 12:30pm. The youth check-in time is 1:30pm. I look forward to sharing with our young people on Saturday. Below please find the ZOOM links.

YAMEER GREEN MEMORIAL
As many of you know, the late Yameer Green was one of the bright lights in our youth ministry in years past. He had an impact at our church and the community. So much so that the City of Rocky Mount Parks and Recreation plans to celebrate Yameer’s life by installing a memorial bench in his honor at one of the athletic parks. Anyone interested in donating can send a gift to City of Rocky Mount 331 Franklin Street, Rocky Mount, NC 27802 or for more information you can call (252) 972-1329.
SUNDAY SCHOOL BOOK GIVEAWAY
Attention all Sunday school participants. Our new Sunday school books have arrived. We are planning to have a drive-thru give Sunday school book giveaway on Saturday, August 22nd beginning at 10am. All interested in receiving a new book should come at this time.
SPRINGFIELD UPDATE
Even though we are still not gathering on Sundays, we have been preparing for our eventual return to church. We have upgraded our cleaning equipment which now includes a sanitizing fogger that will be used to disinfect around our campus. This is just another way we are trying to prepare for our eventual return to the sanctuary.
I want to be clear that I still don’t have a definitive date on when that will be. But until then, like we learned on this past Sunday, KEEP THE FAITH, STAY SAFE & WASH YOUR HANDS.
Pastor
