It was the last Sunday for blankets and for toilet paper and you blessed those in need in a big way.
As of February 28, we had raised $854.00 for the Blanket the World Campaign. That is $354.00 over our goal. Watch a video showing what your money does.
We sent over 200 rolls of toilet paper and assorted toiletries to PICA on Sunday, February 28. These are items that can not be purchased with food stamps.
Listen to Jamie’s sermon. “Why Me, Lord?”

Roger Williams gathered the First Baptist Church in America in 1638 on the bedrock of religious liberty, with its principles of soul freedom and the separation of church and state. Together, we continue our ministry of welcome and liberation.
This congregation honors its Baptist heritage. Many of our members are lifelong Baptists and others come from varied denominational and religious backgrounds. We welcome all people of every age, race, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, cultural background, socio-economic status, mental or physical ability, marital status, and any other distinctions of society. We are diverse people united in Christ. We remain a safe harbor.
