Historic First Baptist Beale Church was honored to host our annual Back to School Drive as we celebrated and encouraged our youth for the new school year. It was a day filled with smiles, laughter, food, games, and a bounce house, creating a fun and welcoming atmosphere for our children and members.
Our Pastor, Rev. Correy Helton, prayed over every child, speaking words of encouragement, purpose, and protection as they prepare to return to the classroom. He reminded them that they are disciples of Christ and encouraged them never to be ashamed of their faith, but to boldly let their light shine before their peers.
As they begin this new school year, we pray they will walk in confidence, wisdom, and courage, knowing that God is with them every step of the way.
“Then He said to them all: ‘Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow Me.’” — Luke 9:23 (NIV)
We are grateful to everyone who donated, volunteered, and supported this event. Together, we invested not only in our children’s education but also in their faith, character, and future. May God bless each student with a safe, successful, and Christ-centered school year.
