The spirit of Christmas

Everyone is busy this time of year. There are Christmas parties, programs and all manner of holiday paraphernalia. But at its best, the season is a time to slow down and reflect – an opportunity to remember that God has come to us, and God has come for us.

It is in that spirit that your BR staff put together a list of seven stories published in 2019 that capture the Great Commission focus of N.C. Baptist and Southern Baptist ministries. We hope you will take the time to survey the list and reflect on how God is moving among His churches to bring the Good News to all nations.

And even still, there are more stories published each day, some of them in this newsletter, that capture the gospel focus of churches across the state and around the nation.

Our team wishes you a Merry Christmas. We will deliver the next newsletter Dec. 31, since the BR office will be closed next Wednesday for the holiday.
