CHILDREN’S MINISTRY NEWS
Wow it’s school time already. Kids are coming back from all their vacations this summer. On Sunday night August 11th we had a Back 2 School Bash at the Beaver Bldg. picnic shelter. Kids had a salad bar (they requested it!), pizza bar, and then later an ice cream bar. They played water games, got wet but dried off playing in the sun. It was a beautiful Sunday evening. The kids were sent home with backpacks full of items they can use at school or home. Thanks for all the parents who helped out.
Jesus Kids practice will resume Sunday August 18th. This will be for kindergarten thru 6th grade. Kids love to sing so we practice church songs every Sunday night at 6 pm. Then we sing at the Paramount Assisted Living every 2nd Sunday afternoon of each month. We also sing in church and sometimes other places.
Our Fall attendance contest begins this month and next month. Kids earn points for attending church, saying their Bible verse and bringing their Bible. We have a day trip planned on October 12th to Noah’s Ark for the winners! They must have over 12 points to win.
Pray for the children as they enter another school year. ~~Children’s Ministry Team
CAMP COWEN 2024
This report is from Reece Hunt, who attended Senior High Camp in July:
This year at Camp Cowen our focus was on doing everything in love.
1 Corinthians 16:13-14 – Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything in love.
This year at Camp Cowen was another fun year with friends, old and new, getting closer to Jesus. We played games that were Olympic-themed working together as a team. They started a new thing called Table Talk, which is where we broke up into small groups where we were given a verse to analyze and discuss what each of us thought it meant. This took the place of Vespers, which I really missed. We had evening worship every evening and lots of music. “Made for More” was my favorite song that we sang.
Some Key Points that I took away are: Don’t settle, wait for what God’s best is for you; True bravery is pushing through your fear;
Know the Word of God better than the enemy; Carry out the Word of God in our identity; What God has done for us, we should do for others; God puts His joy in us so our joy will be full; To Love is to live like Jesus; God CHOSE me! John 15:16 – this was my favorite verse!

GOOD NEWS NUGGETS
J Colton Kisner was our guest speaker for both services on July 21, while Pastor Greg enjoyed a nice vacation. Colton is the husband of our own Jenny Dailey. He is originally from Preston County, but he and Jenny spent a few years in Texas where he completed his master’s degree in theology and served in churches there, before moving back to WV four years ago, and they now live in Jenny’s late grandparent’s house, Rev. Denver Dailey. In the morning, he spoke on Psalm 2:1-12. He noted parts of this passage are quoted three times in the New Testament. He emphasized that we must remember that Jesus has all authority, and that God laughs at mortals who think they have great political power.
J We hope you had your photo taken Aug. 9-12 for our new Church Directory. This directory will be special since it is our 150th Anniversary, and we hope to include some historical pictures.
J Our Sanctuary Choir sang in revival at Sunrise Temple on Monday, Aug. 12. We received a warm welcome, and enjoyed the sermon brought by Steve Cook. J The Willing Workers Sunday School Class was invited to the home of Ed and Debbie Dillon on July 27, for a great meal and a dip in the swimming pool. Not much swimming was done, but we had really good fellowship. Thank you to the Dillons!
J The Widows, Widowers, and Singles group was welcomed into the home of Patty Morrison on July 20 for a wonderful dinner, catered by Angie Neal! Twenty-three guests from Beulah Ann and Lighthouse Baptist gathered for the meal and fellowship. Linda Leese brought a devotion entitled “Sheep and Goats,” which everyone enjoyed.

SESQUICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
On December 26, 2024, Beulah Ann will be 150 years old! The Anniversary Committee has planned many events, and we want to encourage everyone to attend, especially those of you have moved away, because we would love to have you visit “home” and worship with us on any or all of these special events. Our events started in June when we turned 149½! Here are the upcoming events:
è Sun., Aug. 25, 11 am – Our guest speaker will be home grown Casey Chapman, son Brent and Debi Chapman, grandson of Richard and Peggy Chapman.
è Sun., Sept. 8, 11 am – Our guest speaker will be home grown Tyler Sansom, from Indiana, son of Ricky and Debbie Sansom.
è Sun., Sept. 15 – Homecoming! We are going back to old-fashioned homecoming. Pastor Greg will speak at 11 am, then we will dismiss for dinner, but not in a hurry. So that no one will have to leave service early to prepare the tables, we will have about a 20- minute period to fellowship, and look at the historical displays if you would like. Then we will return to the sanctuary around 1:30 pm, where Calvin Ray Evans will speak around 2 pm. Special singers will be Redeemed by Grace, from Proctorville. (No evening service.)
è Sun., Nov. 17, 11:00 am – Old Fashioned Dress-up Day & ThanksgivingService. Fellas, get your suspenders out, and ladies, find your bonnet! We can’t wait to see what you come up with. (For ideas, look at the 1999 tri-fold in the Historical Display room.)
è Sun., Dec. 29, 11:00 – Sesquicentennial Celebration! Historical quilts will be on display,and we will open the Time Capsule that was created in 1999 at our 125th Anniversary. We will have a dinner with a very special cake! Our newSesquicentennial quilt will be on display also.
The Adult Fellowship Sunday School Class has graciously allowed us to use their classroom for our historical displays. You may visit any time the church is open, or during office hours, Tues.-Fri., 9 am-1 pm. Our new church directory will be ready by our anniversary also, and an update tothe church history that was written by Mildred Caldwell up through 1999 will also be completed.
VISIT FROM MOTHER CHURCH
What a wonderful fellowship we had Sunday night, Aug. 11. Pastor Simon Morrison of Mud River Baptist Church, was our guest speaker. Simon grew up in our church and was saved in the “old church” at the age of seven. He shared with us many memories. He recounted how John Rimmer would greet everyone with a big handshake slap, and if you were a child, you would end up with a bubble gum in your hand. He had memories of Luther Morrison, Mary Lou Elkins, Viola Adkins, Oliver Beckett, Elsworth Markin, and others.
He reminded us that in the year of our founding, the Civil War wounds were still fresh, brother against brother in this area. In 1876, Rev. Thomas Hawkins Jr., son of one of our founders, called for a great revival, and he encourage people to bury the hatchet and bury hard feelings, and things were much better from that point on. Our founder, Thomas Hawkins, was Simon’s great-great-grandfather.
He preached from Psalm 16:5-7. He told us how important it is for us to pass down our heritage and our godly traditions. Some traditions are worth protecting.
We had copies of the drawing of a tree that shows all the churches which were planted from Mud River Baptist Church, showing 28 churches. He said that now, from those 28, there are over 300 church plants. What a heritage!
Many folks from Mud River joined us for worship and for fellowship afterward. Many of them enjoyed visiting our Historical Display room, and stayed for refreshments. It was truly a wonderful evening.
(CORRECTION: Last month we wrote that Rev. Tracy Mills was pastor of Open-Door Baptist Church, but he is pastor of Madison Avenue Christian Church. Sorry for the error.)
GUYANDOTTE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION DAY CAMP JULY 15-19, 2024
The theme was “Arrow Island” Choosing God’s Way. Forty-three students in grades 1st thru 5th attended Day Camp. They spent the day in Bible lessons, crafts, and outdoor activities. In the afternoon we had special activities – water slides, water balloons, inflatable slide, and the Ona VFD came out to hose down the campers. It was so hot that week!
Six Association churches and five non-association churches and several campers with no church affiliation participated.
We praise the Lord for all the volunteers – thirteen youth and the adult staff members. We greatly appreciate all the Association churches who provided lunches for everyone – Good Hope, Hope Christian, Milton and 26th St. Baptist. May God bless each of you.
The teachers for the week were Lisa Vititoe, Meredith Crawford, Jennifer Hanson and Ann Hinkle. Our music staff was outstanding with Helen Freeman and Terry Bowen. They were wonderful. “Feathers” the puppet helped with the music and games. Mike from Union Baptist led the Vesper Service on Friday. We have planted the seed of the gospel in each of the camper’s hearts.
Day Camp Pastor – Tim Arthur
Board of Christian Education: Lisa Morris, Dawn Venoy, Anita Robinson, Helen Freeman, Rebecca Childers.
Day Camp is so exciting and a BLESSING. Former campers were reminiscing about how great Day Camp was for them and now they are bringing their children. God is so GOOD. Praising God for allowing me to be able to work with this wonderful group of volunteers. What a BLESSING! ~~Rebecca Childers

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK…
Preachers do it far too often. Some who testify do it with passion and conviction. Most don’t realize their engagement in such scandalous behavior, nor do they recognize the harm it brings to the Church. I’m talking about bragging about Satan. We rage against the rise of homosexuality, the breakdown of the biblical family, the redefinition of marriage, and the chaos of radicalized government. Do you not see what we’re doing? We’re bragging about Satan’s effectiveness and confirming the weakness of the 21st-century Church! We sound defeated, alarmed, and, in some cases, unhinged! It’s time we return the Gospel as the primary message of our preaching, teaching, and witness.
Brother Gene Caldwell says, “We need to stop telling people how good the devil’s doing.” He’s right! The truth is, the devil isn’t doing any good. Jesus Christ went about doing good. He’s still doing good, and we need to preach, teach, sing, and testify about that! Victory is in Jesus Christ! Those living in this sin-cursed world can have it if they repent and believe the Gospel. But they won’t get the Good News if we continue spending more time on Satan’s work than Christ’s! We need to preach more about the cross, where forgiveness, redemption, salvation, and eternal life were purchased by the body and blood of the sinless savior, Jesus Christ!
The Holy Spirit works through born-again believers! If you find yourself drawn to complain about the world, look up. Your redemption is closer now than ever. All these temporary troubles trying to trip and trap bona fide believers have no eternal hold on you. There’s joy, peace, and life in Christ. Preach victory and deliverance from sin. Encourage the broken to come and learn of Jesus. Proclaim the love, mercy, and justice of a holy, righteous, and just God! If it isn’t covered by the blood, it’s judged in the flood before the great white throne. ~~Pastor Greg

MISSION PROJECTS
In June, our church Mission Project was Lily’s Place, where newborn babies born with drug addiction (due to mother’s use) are cared for. We donated $500 for this cause.
In July, we are giving to buy school supplies for students at Ona Elementary School who cannot afford all they need. To give, just write Ona Elementary on the memo line of your check.
The ABWM Community Outreach Project for June was newborn socks, paper towels, and reuseable shopping bags for Lily’s Place. What a response! We collected 141 pairs of tiny socks, a few paper towels, and 87 tote bags, a few miscellaneous baby items. They were so excited to receive these. Thanks to all who participated.
In the June issue of “The Lily Pad,” we find this note from a mom – “My son was born with NAS and spent two months at Lily’s Place. You could tell they care about their babies and families. I never once felt judged or belittled. I absolutely love Lily’s Place – they saved my son and me. I feel like without them, I very well could have fallen right back to what brought us here in the first place. Thankfully, my recovery has been continuous and it’s all thanks to my support system through Lily’s Place. We love Lily’s Place and everyone who works hard to make families feel welcomed and loved.”
A bottle of water can be $1 at the market, $3 at a restaurant, $4 at the movies, $5 at the ball game, and $6 at the airport. It’s the same exact water. The only thing that changed its value was the place. So, the next time you feel like you have no value, maybe you’re in the wrong place.

TRUSTEE REPORT
The Trustees would like to thank Air Systems of Huntington for the aluminum plate that they donated free for our Carport entrance.

We would also like to thank Ricky Webb for adding baffling to one of the front AC units that was running loudly. Made quite a difference!

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY NEWS
The last Sunday in June we held the Children’s Ministry awards in the morning church service. The children have been working hard for the Spring & Summer Contest learning Bible verses, attending church, and bringing their Bible. We are so proud of them.
On Sunday July 14th was our Barboursville Park outing with the winners of the Spring & Summer Contest. We enjoyed eating under the shelter and playing on the playground which had a cool breeze from the lake. But by 3 pm we were ready to go to Tom and Susan McComas’ pool. That was refreshing. The kids say thank you Uncle Tom & Aunt Susan.
Wonder where our fall attendance contest trip will take them? Our Back-to-School Party is August 11th. Stay cool! ~~Children’s Ministry Team
Have you seen the banners made for the 125th Anniversary, hanging in the balcony area? Aren’t they beautiful? The 150th Anniversary Committee would like for each Sunday School Class and group to make a banner for our December 26 150thAnniversary. We would like them to be more uniform this time, so we will supply the material, then you can add your creativity to it! Please see Pastor Greg, Jo Ross, Duane Adkins, Pat Grass or Becky Childers, and we will get you the material to get you started.

GOOD NEWS NUGGETS
We are so pleased to have visitors enjoying our historical displays. On June 28th Theresa Yoho Shy and Margie Yoho Perry (home for a family reunion) spent lots of time relishing in the memories spurred by our exhibits. Then on Saturday, July 13, the Ray Reunion took place in our Family Center, and sisters Mary Ray Brubeck, Reba Ray Dunford, and Nellie Ray Harshbarger took a tour, along with niece Debbie Napier. They really seemed to enjoy it. On July 16, Reba and Bill Anderson from Alabama dropped by. We are happy so many are enjoying the exhibits.
Jo Ross has been bringing short talks on Sundays at 11:00 called “A Moment inHistory.” These will continue until our anniversary. Also, Pastor Greg has videoed interviews of Gene Caldwell, age 101, and Viola Adkins, age 93, to share their memories. We have seen one clip of Gene Caldwell, and are looking forward to more.
Our Fifth Sunday Night Sing on June 30 brought us wonderful singing and pickin’ from the Friendly Neighbors. Jesse Lacy, the pastor of Bowen Ridge Church, his wife Gail, daughter Cindy, and neighbor Joey brought us many songs, including “Just Any Day Now,” “The Lighthouse,” and “On Heaven’s Bright Shore.” We especially enjoyed Cindy’s playing of the stand-up bass fiddle. Great job.
Father’s Day was June 16, and all fathers present got a small gift, and Gene Caldwell was recognized as the oldest father present, and Chris Carter was recognized as the father of the youngest baby present, which was T. D. Carter at 10 months. They each received restaurant gift cards from Adult Ministries.
Another guest singer brought blessings on July 7. Cassie Adkins used her beautiful voice and upbeat presence to sing “Thank You Lord,” and “Nothing But the Blood.” She is Brooke Neal’s sister!
George Leese has accepted the call to Pastor at Good Shepard Freewill Baptist Church in Huntington. George has been a great help to Pastor Greg and will be missed.
The ABWM would like to thank everyone who participated in our WV Blessings offering on June 12. The total was $302.56. Wonderful!
SESQUICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
On December 26, 2024, Beulah Ann will be 150 years old! The Anniversary Committee has planned many events, and we want to encourage everyone to attend, especially those of you have moved away, because we would love to have you visit “home” and worship with us on any or all of these special events. Our events started in June when we turned 149½! Here are the upcoming events:
Sun., Aug. 11, 6 pm – Simon Morrison, pastor of Mud River Baptist Church and who was raised in this church, will speak. Mud River is our “Mother Church.” Their congregation will also be worshipping with us, and we will have a fellowship reception after service. (Note the service timechange!)
Sun., Aug. 25, 11 am – Our guest speaker will be home grown Casey Chapman, son Brent and Debi Chapman, grandson of Richard and Peggy Chapman.
Sun., Sept. 8, 11 am – Our guest speaker will be home grown Tyler Sansom, from Indiana, son of Ricky and Debbie Sansom.
Sun., Sept. 15 – Homecoming! We are going back to old-fashioned homecoming. Pastor Greg will speak at 11 am, then we will dismiss for dinner, but not in a hurry. So that no one will have to leave service early to prepare the tables, we will have about a 20 – minute period to fellowship, and look at the historical displays if you would like. Then we will return to the sanctuary around 1:30, where Calvin Ray Evans will speak around 2 pm. Special singers will be Redeemed by Grace, from Proctorville. (No evening service.)
Sun., Nov. 17, 11:00 am – Old Fashioned Dress-up Day & ThanksgivingService. Fellas, get your suspenders out, and ladies, find your bonnet! We can’t wait to see what you come up with. (For ideas, look at the 1999 tri-fold in the Historical Display room.)
Sun., Dec. 29, 11:00 – Sesquicentennial Celebration! Historical quilts will be on display,and we will open the Time Capsule that was created in 1999 at our 125thAnniversary. We will have a dinner with a very special cake! Our new Sesquicentennial quilt will be on display also.
The Adult Fellowship Sunday School Class has graciously allowed us to use their classroom for our historical displays. You may visit any time the church is open, or during office hours, Tues.-Fri., 9 am- 1 pm. Our new church directory will be ready by our anniversary also, and an update tothe church history that was written by Mildred Caldwell up through 1999 will also be completed.
Our first 150th Anniversary event was “Dinneron the Ground” on Saturday, June 15. We had planned an outdoor picnic, but the heat and humidity were oppressive, so we moved to the Family Center! Still had picnic foods and homemade ice cream!
Our guest singer, Jacob Marshall, did a wonderful job. His first selection was “Wonderful Words of Life,” which was written in 1874, the same year our church was founded. We had invited four young preachers who all had their roots in Beulah Ann.
Tracy Mills, pastor of Madison Avenue Christian Church in Huntington, spoke of the Israelites spending 40 years in the desert before crossing the Jordan River, and how God told them to make a marker of twelve stones as a memorial to the place. It is important to remember and mark significant events, like a church anniversary. He shared many memories and named many people who had encouraged him in the early years of his ministry.
Jeff Fetty, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Point Pleasant, read Phillipians 1:6, and spoke of growing in Christ. He was thankful for his parents and grandparents, and named so many people from the church who had influenced his growth.
Jason Salmons, pastor of Salt Rock Community Church, told how he was unsaved when he was deployed overseas in 2003, and his wife Amy began attending here. He was saved after his return, and Pastor Paul assigned him and Amy to lead the “Read the Bible Through in One Year” effort, which made a big change in his life. He remarked we will not have faith or hope in heaven, because it will be real!
Tim Messinger, pastor of Lighthouse Baptist Church in Milton, told that he did not come to church as a young man. When he and Kandi had a baby in 1993, his mother-in-law Alliene Caldwell brought baby Sarah to church faithfully. When she went on a vacation, she made him promise to take the baby to church, which he did, and was saved. Later, at revival, he heard Calvin Ray Evans preach, “Obey the call,” and he knew that meant him.
MISSION SUNDAY
Our second Sesquicentennial event was Sunday, July 14, when we celebrated Mission Sunday. We had displays set up in the back of the church representing mission trips taken over the years by our members. One whole table represented the 20 trips taken by the late Ann Caldwell, ranging from many trips to countries in South America, the Caribbean, and even Russia and Australia. Another table represented trips to Alaska, Arizona (Hopi Indian School), Russia, and even to WV to help restore a flood-damaged church. There are so many more. A world map marked all the locations we have touched.
Missions have always been important at Beulah Ann. We have a healthy mission budget and an active ABWM. In the 1950’s, our Pastor Ernest Cremeans had a big heart for missions. He would say that a church that did not have a heart for missions would not flourish. He encouraged learning about and giving to missions. Also, in the 50’s, what is now our ABWM was formed, then called the Women’s Mission Society.
Rev. David Turley was our special speaker. He is currently pastor of the First Baptist Church of Reading, PA. For many years, he and his wife, Leslie were International Missionaries serving in Okinawa, Japan. We were hoping to have Leslie speak as well, but she was unable to come.
David spoke on Isaiah 41:10 “Fear thou not; for I am with thee…” When stepping out in faith, in stead of “go” we should think “come” with Jesus. There is no fear in the perfect love of God.
David spoke of his experiences and how they prepared him for events in the life of the church he pastors now, which shares the building with three Hispanic churches and one recovery church. They have all grown and learned from this unusual experience.
Caudle Jerry “CJ” Adkins,73, of Ashland, KY, whose funeral was Wed., July 24. He was a friend to many in our church.
Beulah Y’vonne Baugh, 87, of Huntington, WV, whose funeral was Fri., July 26. She was an aunt of Debbie Sansom.
