West Side Baptist Church

West Side,

Bro. Jim, after leading West Side BC through a Pandemic, a divisive Presidential election, and varied social unrest and rioting feels a need to take a sabbatical the month of June. He will be out June 6, 13, 20 and 27. He will return to the pulpit July 4th. 
He will still be attending the SBC Mtg. in Nashville June 15-16

During this time there will be ample opportunity for reflection, refreshment in God’s Word and renewal of body, soul and spirit. A time to stand back and look at the evangelical church as a whole nationwide. The SBC lost 435,000 members last year. We as a church along with every other church in our area lost people. We are small in number now, so it is of upmost importance that we stand together during this time of restoration and revitalization as our sovereign Lord wills. 
Yes, it will be easy to get discouraged. But we the called, those loved by God the Father, and kept by Jesus Christ have a strength available to them beyond human ability.  
The war on the Word of God, and its infallibility, is piercing every evangelical entity. The move away from Biblical morals and the discounting of its teaching on such is a threat to every local body of Gospel believer’s. So, we must stand and be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.

Joyfully 
Bro. Jim Howard
