Mission Madness and a New Family Missions Weekend by Megan Doud
Mission Madness took place March 15-17 in Athens, Georgia. It was a wonderful weekend of serving the community of Athens with around 200 middle and high school students and their adult chaperones from across our state. Our theme for the weekend was “being the salt and light” of the world. WE are the light of the world; WE are the salt of the earth. Along with serving at fourteen mission sites in Athens, we packed 20,000 Rise Against Hunger meals. Serving and missions is a huge part of the mission for CBF of Georgia.
“Giving Back” as CBFGA Moderator for 2024 by Emily Harbin Glass, Minister to Students and Young Adults, First Baptist Church, Athens
MY LATE GRANDFATHER dreamed of being a Baptist preacher, but he would not give up smoking, and he feared the responsibility of saving people’s souls. He pitched a fit when my parents crossed the state line to bring me into the world in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I am the only person in my extended family born outside of Georgia. After that initial hiccup in my origin story, my grandfather would be pleased to know that I’ve been a Georgia resident and Baptist for 30 of my 32 years. I imagine he would have cheered along at my pandemic ordination with a cigarette in hand and a smile as he realized I’ve never felt responsible for saving people — that’s Jesus’ job.
Sing Together by Jody Long
As long as I can remember, music has been a part of what being a Baptist means to me. The small church I grew up in was a “singing” church. We did not have classically trained musicians or even a professional minister of music. We did not have a pipe organ or a grand piano. We did not even have choir robes. What we did have, though, was a deep love of Jesus and a song in our hearts to sing about his love.
