DNOW
DNOW is a weekend event where Youth join us for games, fun, service, and learning more about God. Friday night this year will be a casual time of introduction, getting to know our groups, and an opening devotion with the small group leaders, with the bulk of the event on Saturday to help accommodate schedules.
Groups will be divided along High School/Jr High and Boys/Girls, giving us four different groups that will be staying at four different host homes.
The Youth will spend the night in the Host Homes, then embark on various learning and serving activities through the event.
We have a very Special Guest Speaker, Ryan Young, that will be joining us for the teaching sessions and The Aftermath Worship Band will be leading us in worship for the weekend.

Sanctity of Human Life Day
On January 22, 1984, President Ronald Reagan issued a presidential proclamation designating the third Sunday of January as National Sanctity of Human Life Day.
Pastors, churches and life organizations across the United States use this day to bring awareness to the attacks that are daily waged against human life through the abortion industry.
One of the best ways we can protect unborn lives is by bringing into the light the darkness of abortion, and supporting local Pregnancy Help Organizations who daily reach women and families with messages of hope and life.
The Lord called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name.
-Isaiah 49:1

Grief Share
Grief Share Provides Help and Encouragement for People Who Are Grieving
Of all the difficult things life throws at people, the death of a loved one is one of the hardest. Whether it’s a spouse, child, sibling, parent, or friend, learning to carry on without them can feel like too much to ask. For the last two years Martha Road Baptist Church has offered help for those who are hurting because of the loss of loved ones. The Grief Share program is biblically based and is offered exclusively through churches. The program is non-denominational and open to people of all faiths or no faith at all.
Grief Share is a 13-week program designed specifically for people who have lost a loved one through death. It consists of instructional videos, a workbook with readings and exercises, and group sessions. Grief Share is facilitated and led by people who understand because they have also grieved the death of a loved one. The $30 workbook is the only expense and participants are encouraged to participate as much as they would like at no additional cost.
The Martha Road Baptist Church Grief Share program will meet on Wednesday evenings at 6 PM beginning January 8th, in Room 117 at Martha Road Baptist Church. To register text the word “GRIEF” to 580-482-3377 or call 580-482-3377
The Lord's Supper
23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, and said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.- 1 Corinthians 11:23-25

Lottie Moon Christmas Offering
The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering is an annual offering collected by believers around the world to support international missions. The offering was officially named in 1918 by Woman’s Missionary Union in honor of the missionary to China who urged churches to start it and give sacrificially.
This offering is unique from other mission offerings in that 100% of gifts provide for missionaries all over the world. It is a valuable part of Southern Baptists’ 175-year history of reaching the nations with the gospel and vital to reaching the vision of a multitude from every language, people, tribe and nation knowing and worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 7:9).
Surely there can be no greater joy than that of saving souls. – Lottie Moon

State Missions Offering
In Oklahoma, we see lostness and brokenness all around us. We see the same around the world, with countless people who have never heard the Good News of Jesus. The world’s greatest problem is lostness. The challenge to advance the gospel in our state and world today can seem like an insurmountable task that could leave a lone individual or a single church feeling overwhelmed. Thankfully, Oklahoma Baptists believe that we can do more for the Kingdom of God together than we can apart. Advancing the gospel and fulfilling the Great Commission (Matt. 20-28:19) is the major reason Baptists historically agreed to cooperatively work and give together in the first place and is still the major reason why we partner together today.
For the whole month of September Martha Road Baptist Church will be participating by picking up a love offering that will go directly the International Mission Board to reach the lost for Jesus.

VBS 2024
Every day, our kids are bombarded with questions: Did God really create everything? Why do bad things happen? Was Noah’s ark real? Why do I need to be saved? Can I trust the Bible?
At this VBS, your kids will explore the biblical answers to these questions as they set off on an epic adventure from Genesis to Revelation. Amid sloths, butterflies, river dolphins, and dart frogs, your children will sail along on a fun jungle cruise, stopping at seven ports of call.
These ports are the 7 C’s of History: Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, and Consummation. Kids will discover how these events shape our world, and they will learn to reconnect the Bible to their everyday life.
Prepare to swing into fun as we head out on The Great Jungle Journey!
