Helps Ministry

The mission of Alice Drive Baptist Church is to help as many people as possible take their next step toward Jesus Christ. We do this by helping them Know Jesus, Know Community, Grow Character and Go Share.

The HELPS Ministry desires to share their gifts, talents and time with those who are in need. Jesus tells us to take care of widows, orphans and the least of these. What does that look like in today's world? There are certainly widows and orphans in our community. HELPS aims to assist them when needed with the necessities of life. There is also a desire to help the least of these, whether they are in need because of financial reasons or through the circumstances of life. HELPS desires to help in the areas of light home repairs, auto repair, mechanical repairs, volunteering in other community organizations, tutoring after school and many other areas of need. These are just a few of the areas we feel God leading us with this ministry.

How can you be a part?

On Sunday, September 28, there will be representatives from the HELPS ministry under the front porch to answer questions and share their passions to serve with you. On October 5 following the First Sunday service, we will be holding an organizational meeting to kick off this ministry, to dream and to plan for the future. Join us for this time and discover how you can be a part of this exciting, new ministry as we Go Share with our community. We all have a role to serve in helping others take their Next Step toward Jesus. Is HELPS your place to serve?

Where Is the Calm Amidst the Storm?

• Last week Hurricane Ike came ashore in Texas and gas prices skyrocketed.
• On Monday, one large investment bank filed for bankruptcy and another was bought out to avoid bankruptcy.
• The stock market had the sixth largest drop in history.
  

These are stormy times. Do you wish you could find the calm in the storm. Jesus Christ offers answers and calm to the storms of your life. Luke 8:25 says. "He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. "Where is your faith?" he asked his disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, "Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him."

'Where is your faith?" To find calm during the storm, place your faith in Jesus Christ and he will bring peace to you.
