Thank You!
Thank you Anson Baptist Churches! It is because of your generosity that over 1,350 facemask lanyards were given to Anson County Schools! 750 of these were given directly to individual schools by Southside and North Wadesboro churches. I heard that one or two more of our churches also donated lanyards to the schools! Thank you everyone who gave to serve our community and demonstrate the love of Christ by meeting a need in our schools! May God continue to use this ministry to build relationships and share the love of Christ!

Baptist Children's Homes of NC
Week of Prayer & Offering
Your offering brings light into their darkness! Clean clothing, hot meals, a safe home, a caring family--these are the last things a child needs to worry about. Unfortunately, this is often the case. On average, there are 16,000 NC boys and girls in the state's foster care system who were removed from their families because of abuse, neglect, and parental addictions. But through your prayers and offerings, BCH welcomes these children into caring cottage homes, foster care homes and adoptive homes where compassionate adults not only take care of their every need, they share with them the unconditional love of Jesus.
