Each year, Berean Baptist Church takes up an offering for the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. The full amount of this offering goes to missionaries associated with the North American Mission Board for salaries and ministry supplies. This in turn enables missionaries to help others hear the message of Christ in hopes of them responding in faith to his offer of salvation.

Christmas comes early
As the difficult times in the economy continue, many families are forced to fight tooth and nail to have a good Christmas.
Hard times in Canaan
Like many churches, families and homes, Canaan Baptist Church has experienced its share of financial difficulties. Though Canaan Baptist's financial landscape is looking up, Dr. Scott Caudill, senior pastor of CBC, remembers the lean times when he began his ministry six years ago. At that time, the church had only $4,000 in the general fund and $400,000 in church debt. He literally prayed every week that God would send in money to pay the bills.
No room at the inn
One of the troubling facts of the first Christmas account is the incredulous report that Immanuel, God with us, would be born in a stable because there was "no room for them in the inn," (Luke 2:7). Amazing. The most important event in human history was transpiring, and it is happening in a barn. Let that sink in for a moment. We tend to glamorize it today. We picture it as a quaint, quite comfortable ...
Four tickets to Christmas
 Step into the. Rev. Greg Steele's church office and you'll find stacks of parasols, pitch forks and Viking hats.

Our thoughts...Lifetime commitment
In Friday's edition of The Covington News, we informed readers that the ailing economy seems to even be affecting pets. Teri Key-Hoosen, director of Newton County Animal Control, said animal control has seen increased instances of dogs and cats wandering the streets as well as locked into abandoned homes and yards - half-starved - as a result of people losing their homes and jobs.  In many cases these ...
Through the fire
April 9, 1987, is a day that the Rev. Jerry Jones and his family will never forget. Jones came home early from work that day when a neighborhood child delivered the shocking words that no parent wants to hear - "Your son has been hurt." Jones hurried to the tree house that his two sons, Reggie and Wesley, had built. As he approached the area, he saw his youngest son, Wesley, lying motionless on the ...
From motel to ministry
On Jan. 28 of this year, a new church was born in Covington. Pastors David and Sonya Burnett of the Living Stones Christian Fellowship, a non-denominational church, held their first Sunday services at 4 p.m. at the Super 8 Hotel on Alcovy Road with standing room only. When the meeting room was not available for a morning service, LSCF and handful of supporters moved next door to the Fountain Banquet Hall when attendance began to ...
Spreading the Good News
The historic Bethabara Missionary Baptist Church Inc. is a community on a hill, both figuratively and physically. Established in May 1888, it has overlooked eight acres on Ga. Highway 36 for more than a century. A second structure was built on the same property in 1960 that currently houses the sanctuary, Sunday school rooms and administrative offices. Known as a friendly church, it has grown both spiritually and financially under the leadership of the ...
What’s a Lutheran?
Do you know how many times I've been asked that question? "What's a Lutheran?" According to ASARB, as of 2000, the percentage of the population in Newton County that called themselves Lutheran was right about zero. Of course, that was well before Abiding Grace started, but still, I was pretty surprised to see that statistic. But the more I talked to people, and the more I told them that I was from Abiding ...
Deliverance abounding
