“Bridge”
Often our road trips in Michigan afford us a luxury that people up to a half century ago could not take advantage of – a journey into Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and back via the Mackinac Bridge. No matter how many times you cross its magnificent five mile span, you are amazed by this amazing structure and its impact upon the region.

MARBC Talents for Christ competition will be held at West Cannon Baptist Church in Belmont, MI (Grand Rapids area) on Saturday, April 25

Talents for Christ season is here. Even now several MARBC teens are joining with others across the county in preparing for the 2009 Talents for Christ competition.

We thank God for our MARBC Talents for Christ coordinator, Pastor Ken Pyne (Evangel Baptist Church, Taylor).  Ken has prepared a Talents for Christ packet, available here for download.  This packet includes detailed information regarding TFC participation, registration forms, etc.  Please download this material, personally promote TFC, and pass this information along to those who will be involved in leading and participating in TFC.

Pastors and ministry leaders are strongly encouraged to encourage your young people to participate.  The preparations themselves help develop godly discipline and character.  The results of this preparation allow our youth to minister in meaningful ways in several settings.  With the opportunities for scholarships from participating colleges in the Scholarship Division and scholarships for participating MARBC camps in the Open Division, there are also practical benefits for TFC participation.  Award details are included in the downloadable packet.
