Friends:
Below is an opportunity to participate as a prayer partner for High Schoolers...contact Jeff Wells if you have questions...
Trojan Football Prayer Partner 2026
Below you will have the opportunity to become a secret prayer partner for a player or coach of the 2026 Barren County High School Football team! There is no deadline to start and you can jump on board anytime!
Players and coaches can have multiple prayer partners but we recommend that you only have one player or coach in order to really pray over him and encourage him this season. Partners will have the opportunity to reveal themselves after a united team prayer at the end of the game on Senior night. On this night, Seniors can also receive final encouragement letters from their prayer partners to keep forever!
Along with your main commitment in regularly praying for your player or coach, we also invite you to encourage them with scripture verses, notes or letters! Keeping it secretive will be tough but will create some suspense and make for a better reveal at the end of the year! Thank you for helping us to cover this team in prayer and encouragement this season!
Disclaimer: This effort was implemented and is being organized by player parents and will be completely optional for all players to participate in.

The annual meeting of the Liberty Association of Baptists will be held at Poplar Spring Baptist Church on Tuesday, October 20, beginning at 5:30. If you haven't done so, now would be a good time to elect messengers from your church (total of 7, and your Pastor). Also, you should be getting a letter from the KY Baptist Convention regarding your church's Annual Church Profile (ACP). If you could complete your church's ACP by September 30, that'd be great and give us time to include your information in the Annual Meeting Book of Reports. Let me know if you have any questions...
Back-to-School Shopping
with a Christmas Purpose
If you're making back-to-school shopping trips this month, consider adding a few extra items to your cart.
A pack of crayons.
A notebook.
A toothbrush.
A small toy.

The items may seem simple, but together they can help fill a Christmas Backpack for a child in need.

The best part is every backpack includes a clear presentation of the gospel and serves as a reminder that someone cares about them and that God loves them.
Collection week is October 26-30, giving you plenty of time to gather items and pack a backpack. Or get your whole church involved and pack a hundred!
Visit our website to learn more
Fill a backpack. Share the gospel.
Change a child's Christmas.
