We are going to be having monthly work parties the second Tuesday of each month at the Heritage Center. The goal of these work parties is to assemble items, sort, and make items for the Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes. For example, last month we put together pencil pouches that included pencils, colored pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners, and other items.
   If you would like to help in other ways, we can always use the following:

• $10 donations to help with training and shipping. Each shoe box also includes three Christian books for the children. Mark an offering envelope “OCC”.
• ink pens
• combs
• Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars
• need individuals to make jump ropes.                                                                                                          

   If you are a member of Thrivent, you can use an action pack to help buy items for the shoe boxes. If you order the t-shirts, we need adult size small

   Everyone is invited to join us for a hearty breakfast prepared by our men's ministry. Come hungry and enjoy a delicious meal and a time of fellowship before morning church. Wear your favorite baseball attire.

   We want to invite everyone to the 2026 Baccalaureate. This special event focuses on thanking God for our graduates and encouraging them to make Jesus the center of their lives.
   This year’s Baccalaureate will take place at the Logan Middle School. Our special guest will be Hip Hop artist Kevion Morse. During the Baccalaureate, we will present the graduates with some special gifts. If you are attending this special service, please call the church office at 385-8411.

   We are gearing up for an exciting week of V acation Bible School. With the construction taking place VBS will look a little different this year. Toddlers and nursery will be at the main campus. Preschool through 12 will meet at the Heritage Center. The adult Bible study will be at the main campus in the Builders for Christ dining tent.
This year’s theme is “Build Your Life on Jesus”. Each day will focus on a different building block in
order to have a solid biblical foundation:
Day one: Build on the Right Foundation
Day two: Build with the Right Materials
Day three: Build with the Right Tools
Day four: Build for Life
Day five: Build the Kingdom.
   The evening begins with an opening session at the Heritage Center for children and youth. During each evening children will participate in a Bible lesson and craft. There will also be interactive sensory areas for toddlers and children. Youth will have a Bible study and an activity. Food will be served for everyone.
We will have a mission moment each evening that will focus on the work of Builders for Christ and the history of Ebenezer Baptist Church. For those wanting to help, there will be a sign up sheet in the church foyer with details about the areas in which you can participate.

      Our church is hosting an American Red Cross blood drive at our Heritage Center, 7094 Township Road 234, Logan. If you have ever needed blood, you know what a blessing it is that another individual made that possible.  Currently there is a need for all types to help others who need potentially life-saving blood. If you are able to donate, we encourage you to make an appointment to give blood to ensure that our hospitals have the needed blood supply.
   You can register at www.redcross.org, through the Red Cross app or by calling Susan at 614-596-2105
