JESUS IS ALIVE! THE CURSE OF SIN AND DEATH IS DEFEATED!

truly, this was the son of god!

Jesus Christ was crucified... he died on a Roman cross in Jerusalem witnessed by hundreds, perhaps thousands. BUT three days later he arose from the grave and walked on the earth for another 40 days being seen by hundreds.

That is the distinguishing fact between Christianity and all other world religions - we serve a risen Savior.

Satan had done his worst BUT God did His best! Our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness.

If you will believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, that God has raised Him from the dead and will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord of your life, on the authority of the Word of God, you will be saved from the punishment of sin and can begin a new life with real purpose... a life that will never end. Do that today!

Alta Woods Baptist Church now meeting Wednesdays 4 PM

About 30-35 members have been returning Wednesday afternoons at 4 PM for worship in the sanctuary. All are wearing masks and keeping them on during the entire service. We have liquid hand sanitizer(not gel) for use as worshipers enter or depart the sanctuary. We practice safe distancing, using every other pew and proper spacing on the pews. Wonderful messages by Dr. Page. Prayer lists are available. Words are printed on screens for singing. We hope that you will join us next Wednesday.

We continue to honor the following guidelines from the CDC and State government

August Mission Emphasis - Mississippi Veterans Nursing Home

Alta Woods continues to participate in mission efforts. Ephesians 2:8-10

In August, we are responding to the call from the VA Nursing Home for socks, blankets, t-shirts, caps. Pick up some of these items next time you are out and bring them in August.

"Ephesians 2:8-10 You have been saved by grace because you believed. You did not save yourselves; it was a gift from God. 9 You are not saved by the things you have done, so there is nothing to boast about. 10 God has made us what we are. In Christ Jesus, God made us new people so that we would spend our lives doing the good things he had already planned for us to do."

THE BAPTIST RECORD

The Baptist Record Ceases Printing, Moves to Free Digital Service

JACKSON, Miss. (Special) - The Baptist Record will cease printing after 143 years, going fully digital and free of charge on its own website, according to editor William H. Perkins Jr.

The new website will feature a modern, Internet-based look and feel while striving to retain the same level of quality news reporting, opinion, and local church news, Perkins said.

In the meantime, "We have no plans to reduce the content of the Record in any way. As a matter of fact, we want to expand the content to include items we have not been able to print because of the physical limitations of a small-format, weekly newspaper," said Perkins, in his 24th year as editor after serving four years as associate editor.

"Now that we're not constrained to twelve printed pages each week, we want to open up the Record for even more reports and features for and about Mississippi Baptist's commitment to our Lord's Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20)," he said.

Bicycle Ministry

David Watts has been operating a bicycle ministry for some time now. There are others who are involved, but he is the Main Man! He is always on the look out for bicycles that are new or used that he can give to needy boys and girls. He fixes old ones and gets them ready to ride. I have seen his handiwork and am very impressed. Perhaps you have a bicycle in your attic or basement or just lying around in the yard that needs a little tender loving care and could be a blessing to a child that doesn't have one. Maybe your neighbor or brother or sister or cousin has one that their child has outgrown and they no longer need it. David can turn it into a blessing for some boy or girl today. You can call him directly or call the church office and we will put him in touch with you.
