Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday fun!!

Hey everyone! I hope your Wednesday is going well! You may have noticed that the lot across from the church has been tilled up. That is because we are going to plant a church garden! We are wanting to plant sweet corn, and I am going to (hopefully) grow some pumpkins! Stay on the lookout as the garden begins to grow! *Thank you Cole Mann for spraying the grass and Winston Browne for tilling the ground!

Hey everyone! I have exciting news! Patrick Pinner is coming home tomorrow, April 24th! Patrick is a youth we have been praying for and supporting at Boykins Baptist. For about 2 months he has been at St. Jude's in Memphis, Tennessee getting a benign tumor treated and looked at. The Boykins Lady's Auxillary will be throwing a party for him tomorrow when he comes into town, and they would like everyone to come out. This is the plan -Meet at the firehouse at 5 30pm -We will walk to the road at 5 45pm to greet Patrick as he comes into town at 6 - We will then go back to the firehouse for light refreshments We hope to see you out there! -Pastor Scott

Don't forget! Our Easter egg hunt will be tomorrow morning at 10:20am! Hope to see you there! Meet in the fellowship hall!

Hey everyone!! I hope you are well this evening. Due to the approaching weather, I am deciding to play it safe tonight and cancel our Good Friday service. I hate doing this, but I don't want the service to start and the weather to become compromising for us. Therefore, even though we will not have a Good Friday service, that does not mean you can't pick up your Bible and read the passion yourself! Pick a gospel (maybe all four), read about Jesus crucifixion, let the Spirit speak to you, who knows what you will hear. (It will probably be better than what I had to say!) Stay safe tonight! Spread the word! Pastor Scott

Hey everyone, I want to give you all a quick reminder of the four missions projects we have going on at church. 1) We are collecting box tops that will be given to benefit Meherrin Elementary. The box tops will be turned in to help buy school supplies. 2) We are collecting pop tops off drink cans that will be donated to help benefit the Ronald McDonald House. The Ronald McDonald House helps provide housing for families who have a loved one in the hospital. 3) We are collecting change in our well that will be counted and donated to a cause of the church's choosing. Back in the Winter, we donated the money to the Virginia Baptist Disaster Relief to help will hurricane relief. 4) We are collecting new or used pillowcases and bed sheets that will be donated to the Genieve Women's Shelter in Sullfolk, VA. This shelter helps give women and children a safe place to stay in situations of abuse. Twin size bed sheets are preferred (we will accept any size and they can be used), and please wash the sheets before bringing them to church. I hope you will find a ministry to support at Boykins Baptist! Thanks! Pastor Scott

Hey everyone! This is Raechelle Doyle, and she is the best! She is also our new Nursery and Children's Church Director at Boykins Baptist! It has been such a pleasure to work with Raechelle as she uses her gifts to bless us about Boykins Baptist Church by working with our children. I am so excited by what God is doing at Boykins Baptist as we add this Children's Ministry to our church. Starting this Sunday, March 3rd, after I give the children's time message, Raechelle will take the children, ages 10 and under, out into a Sunday school class in our fellowship hall for Children's Church. There she will lead them in a Christian Education activity during the sermon segment of worship. Parents will be able to get their children at the end of worship in the nursery. She will also help keep the nursery each Sunday from 10 am-11 am. On the days Raechelle is leading Children's Church, she will keep the nursery during the worship hour. On the Sundays that she is not leading Children's Church, we will have another working in the nursery during the 11 am worship hour. During March, she will lead Children's Church on the 3rd, 17th, 31st, during the sermon segment of worship, after children's time. Raechelle is a 5th-grade reading teacher at Nottoway Elementary. Her husband Scott serves as a Lieutenant with the Southampton County Police Department and as a Deacon of Boykins Baptist. Their family is made complete with their wonderful kids, Alayna and Grace. Help me show Raechelle how happy we are to have her serve our church in such a beautiful way! -Pastor Scott

Hey everyone! Don't forget tomorrow at 10 am in the choir room we will have our second youth choir practice! Don't worry if you missed the first practice, there are always spots open, and you will be able to catch up. All school-age children are welcome! We hope to see you there!

What an amazing witness it was this past Sunday as we ordained Brenda Watson to be a Deacon of Boykins Baptist Church!

Hello everyone! I hope you are well! I want to bring your attention to something we are starting at Boykins Baptist that we are super excited about. We are starting a Youth Choir! Our first practice will be this Sunday at 10 am sharp in our choir room upstairs. Practices will be on the first Sunday in February and March, and the first performance will be during worship on a Sunday in April. All school-age children are welcome. So come one, come all!

Here are some pictures from our family night last week! We started with a chili cook-off, and ended the evening with Andy Taylor from Mayberry telling us a story about a man named Wicked John!

Congratulations Winston (on the left),as well as Christopher and Cole, on becoming an Eagle Scouts this last Sunday!!

Hey everyone! I hope your Christmas was filled with joy. I am home in North Carolina enjoying some time with my family, which means I won't be at church on Sunday. The preacher I have lined up for you all is Jill Awuni. She is an Assistant Professor of religion at Chowan and she is the Director of International students as well. She is a wonderful person, and I have enjoyed getting to know her during my time here. I know y'all will be blessed by her message, so let's make her feel welcome! -Pastor Scott

It's a late post, but this was our Family Night last Sunday evening! God is good! All the time!

What an amazing family night we had this last Sunday! We began filling up our time capsule, we ate food from the church cookbook, and we saw a rendition of "Mississippi Squirrel Revival". To say the least, we had an amazing time!

Here are some photos from our Easter serice! Enjoy! Scott, Pastor of Boykins Baptist Church

Oh happy day!! The tracks are open!!
