Barcelona Road Baptist Church is experiencing an encouraging revitalization. During the past nine months, eighteen new members have been added to our fellowship. The addition of these eighteen has refreshed, strengthened and improved our church. Six of these new members are between the ages of twelve and sixteen. Their faithful attendance is stimulating other young people and children to attend. In a special called business meeting on June 18, the church voted positively on two very important issues. First, the recommendation by the Personnel Committee to hire David Carpenter as part-time Youth Director, beginning July 1, 2008. Second, the recommendation by the Transportation committee to purchase a new 2007 25-passenger Ford V10 bus from the Diamond Bus Company, Conway. The purchase of the bus fulfills the vision of many church members who believe we can reach more children and youth in our community. The bus will also be available to all groups in our church who want to provide transportation for groups for Christian training, fellowship, and ministry events. Now is the time to make your commitments and contributions toward the cost. It can be a new day. We must continue to pray, plan and work together to reach and teach those who will come to be a part of our church family. I believe the decisions that have been made are wise decisions. Let us join together to make the most of our opportunity. Barcelona Road Baptist Church is situated on the West end of beautiful Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. You will find this church alive, active and joyfully serving the Lord. Our ministry is both to our members and to the community. We invite you to visit us. Come and see what the Lord is doing.
Peace and blessings,
