Henly Baptist Church
In Order To Bring Messages Of Hope And
Faith To You...
We will continue to record and post Sunday services so you can
benefit from the messages Don Forrester brings to us.
We'll be using YouTube to make these available to you. Just follow one of the links
below to view his message from that date.
We will continue to do this at least until we are able to meet as a family of faith again
and probably beyond that. Please excuse our growing pains as we work hard to get it right.

Dear Family of Faith
In an environment wrought with fear and uncertainty, I am grateful for the promises of God’s word and for his perpetual ability to meet us at the point of need. Earlier today, I wrote an article about the contrast between fear and faith. Where there is light, darkness is diminished. Where there is faith, fear is diminished. As the family of God, faith is part of our eternal DNA.
With the pandemic of COVID-19, the panic response by many leads to shortages at the grocery store and a “sky is falling” persona that verges on the brink of anticipating the worst possible case scenario. The threat of COVID-19 is real, but not life-threatening for most. For others, it becomes far more serious and potentially deadly. So how do we respond?
We all have choices in life and we generally make one of two choices before our feet hit the floor in the mornings. We can choose faith or we can choose fear. Both can’t totally exist in the presence of the other.
In an effort to make responsible choices, it serves us well to follow the suggested protocol of recommended precautions made by infection disease experts in the Center for Disease Control. Those experts are now calling for avoidance of meetings with group sizes exceeding 10 people for an indefinite period of time.
In an attempt to be both faithful and responsible, I think the church is best served to honor the request made of Americans and temporarily suspend church activities between now and April 30th, 2020. In the interim, we don’t have to be remiss in worship. Focus on the promises of God, read inspirational books, listen to music that lifts your spirit, stay in touch with family and friends.
I will continue to monitor the recommendations of the Center for Disease Control and keep you apprised of any changes in recommendations.
Prayerfully,
Don

WELCOME TO HENLY BAPTIST CHURCH
If you're looking for cross-generational opportunities for worship and fellowship in a friendly and welcoming Texas Hill Country setting, Henly Baptist Church is the place for you!
Our congregation shares a special relationship uncharacteristic of many churches. We are a 'come as you are' group with diverse backgrounds, personalities and life experiences. Our age ranges span the horizon from childhood to late adulthood, but we function as a family and all are important. We have made the discovery that generational relationships add perspective and a positive balance that supports quality of life issues.
We believe that building relationships is a reflection of God's love and as a church our goals are 1) to promote an awareness of man's need for relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ, 2) to provide an environment for worship and fellowship designed to promote Christian growth and development, and 3) to be a spiritual lighthouse in the community through the practice of Christ’s teachings, evangelism, outreach and social and benevolent ministries.
If you aren't getting this great newsletter either in your email inbox or your USPS mailbox or both, let us know and we'll make sure you get on the list.
You can fill out an information card located in the backs of all the pews or just tell any of the deacons or the pastor or just about anybody and we'll get with you and get your contact info.

I've worked in the printing industry for almost 50 years and, as the insurance ad goes, I know some things because I've seen some things.
The Henly Today newsletter is small but a very professional publication. Great messages from the pastor in every issue plus articles about fellow church members and always a history tidbit or two.
