Two families met with Pastor Crookshank at the church at 3:00. We divided into four teams and walked along several roads in King George.

The Lord prepared the way ahead of us, and we talked with several individuals and families who had prayer concerns for their marriages, children, our community and our country. After the prayer walk, we shared dinner at Vinney’s then went back to the church for our time of prayer.

The Lord brought many concerns for us to pray about. Each team shared their day with the whole group, and we all prayed together. We were truly blessed by the people we met today, and thank God for this opportunity to serve Him and grow as Christians..

This was our 4th annual yard sale! Church family, neighbors and friends brought tables and set up here on the church property. It was a great opportunity to clear out the attic and garage, and have some serious fun while we were at it.

This year children from Hanover Baptist church were involved in a ministry to reach the shut-ins at our church.  They went home to home, sharing the true story about Jesus’ birth, bringing hope and Christmas joy to the lives of those who are unable to come to church at a regular basis. Each person was presented a homemade nativity as a reminder of the message they were given in the hopes that it would resonate with them every time they look at it.  This was a wonderful opportunity for families to give just a little bit of themselves to share the message of One who gave all of Himself for us.

This morning the children shared their message with the members of the church.

Today we held our third annual Community Yard Sale. Part of our outreach, we invite members of the local community to set up a free table in the church parking lot. This year we had about a dozen sellers. We sold a few things, bought a few things, and even shared a pizza. Another successful day!

This was the kick-off event for Hanover’s participation in God’s Plan for Sharing (GPS). “GPS is a national evangelism initiative which calls and equips Southern Baptists to reach North America for Christ by the year 2020.”

We planned to meet at the church and do a little canvassing with our bags and invite people to be a part of our Resurrection weekend. Inclement weather kept us from heading out today as a group, so individuals went out later in the week on their own.
