The
Greening of the Church...
Centuries old carols signal the beginning of the Christmas season. Traditional decorations – wreathes, holly, evergreens, poinsettias, candles – add to the festive mood in our homes and in our churches. They also tell a story. The Greening of the Church is a celebration – people singing, talking, worshipping, helping – telling the story of all stories that has endured for more that 2000 years. Join us for the traditional beginning of the Christmas season at Edgefield, The Greening of the Church, Sunday evening, November 30th at 6 pm. A reception will follow.
A
Taste of Edgefield Baptist Church...

The purpose of this campaign is to raise funds for enhancements and improvements to our 100+ year old church building as we help prepare it for another 100 years of service to the church and community.
EBC Gulf Coast Mission Trip to Waveland, MS...October 9th-12th
Well, we left with a few less than we hoped and rather unskilled, but God proved Himself faithful, as always. We had plenty of work to do because there is still so much work to do in the Gulf Coast area. The continued devastation is sad, but I can tell you it was a joy to my heart to see our boys working so hard on behalf of complete strangers. We each had the joy of being ministers in the name of Jesus Christ to those in need, each using gifts and talents that God has blessed us with. It may have been pouring concrete to secure a house foundation, or cleaning up the campground for future groups, or the act of keeping company through simple conversation. Big or small, we know God blesses and God rewards. We had the joy to minister; I pray you had the joy of being senders. None of this would have been possible without the support of our EBC family. The financial gifts and contributions funded the trip. Your prayers fueled us with patience and strength. No matter the role of participation, God has been glorified in you. Our part in the Gulf Coast may have been relatively small, but effort and work done in Jesus’ name is always worthwhile.
