UPCOMING EVENTS

Neighbor Night Ideas

Every neighborhood is full of friends who face challenges in which they need a good neighbor.  Here are some ideas to help your family generously love your neighbors.

• Get to know your neighbors’ birthdays. Send them cards or do something special for them on their special day.
• Host a Neighborhood New Year’s gathering or another holiday. Provide a safe place for people to gather.
• Have your family host a children’s craft day three to four times a year. Invite children from around the neighborhood to share in a time of making crafts.
• If single senior adults or senior adult couples live in your neighborhood, adopt them as grandparents. Visit them regularly.  Help them as opportunities arise.
• When a neighbor leaves town on vacation or something else, surprise them by doing their yard work while they are away. Leave them a note, “Welcome Home!  Thanks for being a good neighbor!”
• Deliver brownies or fresh-baked cookies to your neighbors to get to know them.
• Invite a new family who just moved into your neighborhood into your home for a meal or a dessert.

NOTE: There will be no evening activities on campus on Neighbor Nights

DISCOVER SALEM is a great opportunity for anyone looking to learn about the heartbeat of Salem.

This is a one-morning presentation of everything you need to know about Salem.

First, discover who Salem is, our core values, and our vision as a church family. This is also a great opportunity to learn about church membership, our mission and core values, and the history behind Salem Baptist Church.

Next, we will explore ways to connect to people. You will discover the role and function of our Connect Groups within the life of our church family.  Connect Groups help build friendships and deepen relationships with God by studying the Bible and being challenged to follow Jesus in your daily life.

Lastly, you will discover and explore spiritual gifts and how best to put those gifts into action through the various ministries at Salem and throughout our community.

Each Discover Salem will end with a casual lunch and the opportunity to ask questions and get to know some of our Pastors and Deacons a little better.

Please be sure to register, as we have limited space and will be serving lunch.

This class is designed for parents of children ages newborn through 5 years. Parents will learn about the privilege God has given to them to be the primary disciple-makers of their children, in partnership with the local church.  Faith@Home shares practical ways to leave a legacy of faith for your children as you practice 5 key values in your home.

This class is a pre-requisite for Parent Commissioning & both parents are required to attend. This class is open to any interested parent.

WHAT IS PARENT COMMISSIONING?

Parent commissioning is a time for parents and the church to celebrate the birth or adoption of a child, in the setting of a worship service. This is an opportunity for parents to come before their church family and make a commitment to God by agreeing to raise their children by Christian principles, so that one day, prayerfully, their children will be followers of Jesus Christ.

HOW DO I START THE PROCESS OF TAKING PART IN A PARENT COMMISSIONING?

Participants in Parent Commissioning must be members of Salem Baptist Church.  Because we are asking our church family to make a commitment to embrace and support your family, that is best accomplished if you are fully involved in the ministries and fellowship of the church.

If you have been attending regularly, but have not yet made the decision to become a member of our church family, we invite you to make that your next step in the journey of leading your family. You can register for an upcoming Discover Class, which is a great start to understanding what it means to be a part of our church family. To register for our next Discover Salem, visit mysalembaptist.com/events

WILL I RECEIVE ANY SUPPORT OR GUIDANCE THROUGH THE PROCESS OF PARENT COMMISSIONING?

Yes! In order to take part in a Parent Commissioning Sunday service, parents must attend the “Faith@Home” class prior to the desired parent commissioning date. This 2-hour class includes childcare and a boxed dinner for participating parents and their children. The Faith@Home class is designed to support and provide resources for parents as they lead their families in following God’s design for their lives.
