Gretna Baptist Softball Finishes Season.

The Gretna Baptist Softball Team finished the season in the Championship Game against Temple Baptist Church of Lincoln. It was a good competitive game. Temple Baptist won with an 8 to 7 score in the final inning. The game concluded with good fellowship and prayer between both teams.

Church blessed with second Baptism Service of the year.

On Sunday, July 27, was blessed with a second baptism service for the year. Two were baptized to biblically proclaim their faith in Christ. The church also enjoyed the ministry of Mike and Peggy Carr, missionary builders with Continental Baptist Missions. The Carr's were part of the building team that worked on our church building.

Gretna Days Activities Were Exciting!

The town of Gretna celebrated its annual Gretna Days Weekend July 18-20. Gretna Baptist had the pleasure of participating in a variety of ways. On Friday evening we made our property available for parking and viewing the city's fireworks display. We parked approximately 300 cars. This gave us the opportunity to tuck an introduction to our church under every windshield. We also had an open house so people could cool down and enjoy some refreshments. And we walked through the park giving away free homemade chocolate chip cookies. On Saturday we participated in the Gretna Days Parade. This year's Float had a large Teddy Bear, Rocking Horse, and Blocks. We gave away 2000 tracks called Salvation is Simple, and gave away 1700 American Flags.

Vacation Bible School Was Amazing!

July 8-11 Gretna Baptist held Bible School in three locations: in Gretna, Springhill Park, and Hickory Ridge Park. This gave us the opportunity to minister to families we normally would not have contact with. Every day was full and exciting with 84 children in attendance. The theme was Power Lab: Discovering the Miraculous Power of Jesus. We were grateful for the help of the youth group from Camden Baptist Church, in Wellington, Ohio, and their pastor, Bill Kopas. Their ministry to the boys and girls, and our congregation was excellent!

Bennington Baptist Church Received Into the G.A.R.B.C.

On Friday, June 27, Bennington Baptist Church was received into the fellowship of the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches as a Mission Church during the Association's Annual Conference, meeting in Ankeny, Iowa. There were approximately 1700 in attendance for the week long conference. Pastor's Peter Jenks and Eric Wilmeth were present to receive a certificate of fellowship from Dr. John Greening, the national representative of the Association. Bennington Baptist Church was started by Gretna Baptist Church three years ago as a Sunday Night Bible Study.

Whispering Cedars Baptist Camp Presentation

Phil Tilson, Director of Whispering Cedars Baptist Camp near Genoa, Nebraska, and his family were at Gretna Baptist Church recently to give a presentation of the different camping opportunities available this summer and fall. Besides the typical youth camps, they also have family and adults camps available. For more information on the Camp you can call the church office, or check out the Camp website at www.whisperingcedars.org.

 

Gretna Baptist Seeks to Minister to the whole family!
 

We now offer Nursery Care and a Children's Ministry during each service. Our goal is to make it easier for families to attend our services and to minister to everyone at their level.
