Pastor's Pen
for May 28, 2023
"Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends."
John 15:13
Tomorrow is Memorial Day, the one day we set aside each year to honor the memory of those who gave their lives to protect our freedoms. Because we live in a society so focused on the now, we often forget what happened 150 years ago or 50 years ago or 5 years ago. We take for granted our freedoms as if they are unassailable rights protected by courts, and we forget that freedom is not free.
Take some time on Memorial Day to remember the fallen, perhaps a family member or friend. Visit the national cemetery between Elmira and Dixon, or sit with someone who gave a son to ensure our freedom. It is right to honor those who gave their lives for the United States. Let me end with an epitaph by John Maxwell Edmonds from the graves of British soldiers who died in World War I: "When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow we gave our today." Honor Memorial Day!
Pastor Scott Dean
A Message from Pastor Scott
Welcome to Elmira Baptist Church. We want you to grow with us. This website will show you a little bit about us. Here are some things that you should know about us.
Elmira Baptist Church is a committed church. We are committed to preaching the Gospel and committed to discipleship in the 21st Century. We believe that the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes and that a life committed to the Lord Jesus Christ is a joyful life!
We are a family church and enjoy sharing life together. When one member rejoices, we all rejoice. And when one member hurts, we all hurt. We are small enough that we can really know each other and hold each other accountable. And we are large enough that we have dedicated classes on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights for the whole family.
We are a welcoming church. We would enjoy the opportunity to get to know you. God's people come from all walks of life, in all ages, and with various backgrounds. Our meeting times are listed on this page. We invite you to see what our worship is like on our Facebook page. There is a link on this page to our Facebook page. To hear past sermons and Bible studies, you should follow the Sermon Audio link that is also on this page.
Our theme for 2023 is Loving Our Neighbor. We realize the struggles of daily life can make it hard to love others. Truly, it is impossible to love our neighbor without God's grace. We find that needed grace in staying very close to God.
Whether you are new to the neighborhood or new to the Christian life, we invite you to experience God's grace with us.
