I just want to take a moment and welcome you to Providence Baptist Church. Whether you join us in person, via the web, or both it is important to us that you feel welcome.  We are intentionally inclusive because we believe that God has been intentionally inclusive of us to the family of God.  It is our intention that you feel the warmth of friendship and Agape love when you visit with us.

   "As the deer pants for the water brooks,
         So my soul pants for You, O God. 
    My soul thirsts for God, for the living God."


Psalm 42:1-2b

On my desk I keep a copy of the program from my Uncle Ed's memorial service. He kept a journal and his family included one of his quotes: "Gold is where we find it- within ourselves and under our feet.  Dare to be what you are capable of being and it cannot be done drifting with the crowd.  You must dare and share.  If you do this a richer life will come back to you.  Don't wait for an opportunity, make one.  Awaken that mental giant within and dare do something with your life that will justify your existence." (Lt. Col. Edward C. Rogers, 1992)

I believe that God has given us great potential.  Our task isn't simply to achieve our best but to help others reach their potential as well.  God has done great things for me and you.  It is time for us to dare and share.
