Hi Springfield,

 

At the cross, at the cross,

Where I first saw the light,

And the burdens of my heart rolled away,

It was there by faith, I received my sight,

And now I am happy all the day!

 

I pray that those words ring true for you today and always. As we enter this season of Resurrection, let’s remember the power and meaning of the cross.

 

CORONAVIRUS CARE PACKAGES 

This Saturday Springfield Baptist will have our next coronavirus care package giveaway beginning at 11am. The care packages are filled with groceries to help be a blessing to the community. Stop by and pick up a package for yourself, a friend, or a neighbor. Just another way we’re serving the community.

 

EASTER WEEKEND

We have a lot of exciting things planned for Easter weekend here at the Springfield Baptist Church. Here are some of the things we’re planning. I hope you will make plans to attend. 

 

• 7 LAST SAYINGS FROM THE CROSS. On Good Friday, April 2nd at 7pm we will broadcast a 7 Last Sayings from the Cross. I am grateful for our associate ministers (Rev. Roger Davis, Rev. Curtis Joyner, Rev. Angela Leach, Rev. Tiffany Sturdivant and Min. Melvin Turner) and sons of Springfield (Pastor Nolan Davis and Pastor Elmo Vance Jr.) who are scheduled to preach. Please pray with and for them as they remind us of the power of the cross. The service will be broadcast on our website stream, Facebook page and YouTube channel.
• STATE OF THE CHURCH ADDRESS. I am also planning a state of the church address, Saturday, April 3rd at 4pm in our church parking lot.  This address is designed to share with you some of the great things God has done at Springfield since the pandemic began. I am asking all of our members to make plans to attend.
• DRIVE-IN WORSHIP. I’m excited about our plans for drive-in worship on Resurrection Sunday, April 4th at 10am in our church parking lot. Because of our drive-in worship, Sunday School will be suspended for that Sunday. Come early and worship God with us!

FEMA FUNERAL REIMBURSEMENT

 

Losing a loved one at any time is hard; but it’s been made especially hard during this time of COVID-19. FEMA is planning to launch a program to help reimburse families who lost a loved one due to COVID-19. This is part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Please log onto www.fema.gov for more information about who is eligible and how to apply.

 

That’s all for now. As usual, KEEP THE FAITH, STAY SAFE, WEAR, WASH & WAIT.
