Hi Springfield, 

“Joy to the World, the Lord is come,

Let earth receive her king,

Let every heart, prepare him room

And heaven and nature sing ….”

 

Though the song is entitled “Joy to the World” the song is really about hope. The song reminds us of the hope that Jesus brings when He comes into our lives. I pray you are experiencing that hope this holiday season. That hope is what reminds us that Jesus makes all things better. Praise God for that! 

 

FREE PRODUCE GIVEAWAY

In conjunction with the General Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, Springfield will be giving away free boxes of produce for the community for the next three Saturdays at 11am – Dec. 5th, 12th and 19th. The boxes are first come, first serve and the produce comes from African-American farms across our state. We are grateful for this wonderful opportunity to serve God and our community. Shout out to our Missions Ministry. If you’d like to volunteer, please email:

DRAMA MINISTRY CHRISTMAS DRIVE-IN

This year, in lieu of our normal Christmas production, we’re going back to an oldie but goodie. On Saturday, December 12th at 5pm we’re going to replay the Christmas production from 2019 entitled “Christmas Hope” drive-in style. Come with your blankets and hot chocolate and enjoy this wonderful spirit-filled production from the comfort of your car. This will also be the time where we will distribute Sunday School Christmas bags. We look forward to seeing you there.
