If you have not yet made your pledge to the Bishop’s Annual Appeal, now is the time to join others and be part of the ministry of Jesus Christ among the people of God. BAA pledge envelopes are available on the cornerstone in church and on the welcome table in the atrium. Thank you for your generosity and helping to make Christ known among his people through the BAA ministries.
