  • Message from Henry Cannington
           As we "spring forward" into March, we are reminded that the work of the Lord never stands still. The days grow longer, the light shines brighter, and God calls us to move ahead together in faithful partnership. Scripture declares, "For we are laborers together with God." What a powerful reminder that none of us serves alone. Our churches, pastors, leaders, and members are united in Christ for a greater purpose - advancing the gospel across our communities and beyond.
    March provides three significant opportunities for us to move ahead together as a Taylor Baptist Association family.

    March 1-8
    Week of Prayer for North American Missions
    During this week, we unite in prayer for our missionaries and their families serving across the United States and Canada. Through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering, we directly support church planters, compassion ministries, and gospel witnesses in places where Christ is not yet known.

    March 13 - Exploring God's World Men's Event
    We have a special treat happening right here in our association! For several years, Oakland Baptist Church has hosted a powerful men's ministry called Exploring God's World. This year, the event will take place at the beautiful Econfina River Campsite - an 8-acre primitive site along the river, located about 25 miles southeast of Tallahassee and 15 miles east of Perry.
    On Friday night, March 13, Oakland Baptist Church and Pleasant Grove will combine efforts with the Taylor Baptist Association and the Florida Baptist Convention to sponsor an unforgettable gathering for the men and boys in our area.
    We are honored to welcome two highly sought-after guest speakers:
    * Jeff Struecker- The real-life soldier portrayed in Black Hawk Down
    * Billy Molls - Founder of Trust the Guide Ministries
    These men bring powerful testimonies of courage, faith, perseverance, and trust in God's leadership. Opportunities like this do not come often. Encourage the men and boys of your church to attend. It will be a time of challenge, brotherhood, and spiritual strengthening.

    Serve Taylor - Reaching Beyond Our Walls
    The final week of March will culminate in our Serve Taylor event. This is a special opportunity for our associational churches to creatively reach outside the walls of their buildings and into the heart of our community. Whether through service projects, outreach events, acts of kindness, or gospel conversations, this is our chance to demonstrate the love of Christ in tangible ways.
    Jesus reminded us in Matthew 5:16 to let our light shine before men so they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. Serve Taylor is that light shining brightly across our county.

    A Word of Appreciation
    To our pastors, leaders, and churches - thank you.
    Thank you for your faithful giving.
    Thank you for your cooperative spirit.
    Thank you for your partnership in advancing God's Kingdom.
    Because you give, pray, serve, and stand together, the gospel is being proclaimed. As we move ahead this March, may we do so unified in purpose, strengthened in faith, and confident that God is at work among us.
    Let us spring forward - together - as laborers with God. With a grateful heart,
    Henry Cannington Taylor Baptist Association
