Churches in the Mid-Atlantic Baptist Network are busy equipping, encouraging and engaging Christ followers to advance Christ’s Kingdom. Here is just a small sample of various recent ministries and outreaches and upcoming events.
Lynnhaven Baptist Church has an active youth ministry. Recently, 20 students participated in the local See You at The Pole (SYATP) event, leading or participating in prayer events at five local schools.
The students met at Lynnhaven to prepare for the prayer time. They led in contacting school administrators for permission, and they gave SYATP bracelets to their friends inviting them to attend. The church provided t-shirts.
The teens recently led games at the church’s Trunk or Treat event and they are having a coat drive, student initiated, through mid December.

Church members will bring “potluck” homemade dishes to share.
The show is an outreach for the church, allowing members to fellowship and as an opportunity for them to invite friends and family members. The community is invited to attend. Reservations are required. For more information or to register contact the church, 410-643-6574.
