Mt. Salem-Wyaconda Southern Baptist Association

Several from our association went to Glendive, Montana last summer on a mission trip to help David & Cheryl Stahlman who are planting the Hopebridge Church there.  We helped with cleaning, construction projects, prayer walking throughout the community, provided nightly VBS and a block party.  They periodically send us updates on how things are going, and since we left, they have held weekly Bible studies with a meal on Sunday evenings.  We were very happy to hear that on Easter Sunday, they held a preview Church Service with breakfast and had 15 in attendance.  Praise the Lord!!  Please keep Hopebridge Church, The Stahlman Family and this community in your prayers.

Missions Together is on Sunday, May 3 and the focus is mental health missions in London.  If you would like more information or if you would like to serve in Missions Together, please call or text Kimbre Thrower at 573-288-4759.  Carry-in supper to follow at 5:30 pm.

We are still in need of cabin leaders and kitchen help. As it is getting closer, many of these spots are still not filled. The next Camp Meeting is May 5, 2026 at 7 pm. Please come and join us to see how Camp Planning is coming along. The spots that are open are a crucial part on preparing and putting on church Camp. Kitchen still needs help on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday morning, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday lunch, and Tuesday, Thursday supper. Monday and Wednesday supper are covered at this point. If you have any questions, call Jacob Morris 573-231-4266 or Bobbi Morris at 573-719-8324.  Camp forms will be out to our churches soon!!!

The pastors and wives breakfast will be May 3 at 9 am at Myrtle Mae's in Maywood.  Come join us as we fellowship together and encourage one another.

Greetings beloved! Our April hymn sing at Ten Mile was the usual wonderful gathering of Christians glorifying our triune God with music. The last performance was especially appreciated, as the Community Choir put together by the  Lewistown church presented two songs from their upcoming event. Which I highly recommend  everyone attend. The bass section is uplifted with several volunteers from Heartland. Their presentation of ‘Hosannas and Hallelujahs’ will be April 26 in Lewistown at 5 pm. Our May 12th hymn sing is at Providence. Come join the assembling!

We will be meeting at Durham on May 21 from 1-5 pm to sew eyeglass cases for Vision 3:16.  Come when you can.  Watch for flannel on sale – we are running low!

And if anyone has preemie or newborn size items for the Mama Tulia Ministry in Uganda, the items need to be given to Kimbre Thrower by the end of June!  Cloth diapers in newborn size are greatly appreciated!  Contact Violet or Evelyn Scifres for more information about sewing diapers.

They would also like crochet hooks in size H, I, J.

And they could use money to buy newborn vitamins, yarn, and meals.

May we keep our Hands In Service for HIM because we are HIS!
