Mission Activities
Bowie Crofton Pregnancy Center - You can become involved in this area by becoming a trained counselor or volunteer helper. You can also help by donating new baby items, formula, clothing, or by making a monetary donation. http://www.pregnancyclinicministry.org/
World Hunger Offering - Each October our church gives out Rice Bowl banks for donations for world hunger. Every penny donated goes directly to hunger needs; for food, building wells, giving out seeds and stock animals through the missionaries that are already serving in areas of need. There are no administrative costs involved. We also provide current information about the world's hunger situation and how we can help.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, & Easter Food Baskets - There are sign-up sheets each holiday season for food donations to make up food baskets (boxes) for the needy in our community. This is a great way to share our many blessings with others and to also provide salvation tracts and church information.
Lottie Moon Offering for International Missions (Christmas) and the Annie Armstrong Offering for North American Missions (Easter). These involve distribution of "directed prayer guides" highlighting missionaries, their specific needs and their work. The Missions committee sets an offering goal for our church for each of these offerings.
Bowie Community Pantry - There is a donation bench located in the hall outside the sanctuary for the collection of non-perishable food for the pantry. We urge that donations be made on the first Sunday of every month. For more information, contact the Pantry and Emergency Aid Fund at 301-262-6765.
Other Opportunities - Other opportunities to share the gospel news or minister in Christ's name can arise during the year. The Bowie Prayer Walk, and Bowiefest are just a few. Be a part of the missions work at Cresthill by serving in one of these areas!
Missionary Family We Support
Funds were collected to buy French-translated Bibles at $7.50 each for our missionaries in Guinea, West Africa, Gregg and Amy Freese, for distribution to the Susus, to whom they minister. If you want to contribute, make checks payable to Cresthill Baptist Church (“French Bibles” on memo line). You can make a donation when you pick up coffee and snacks on Sunday mornings. You can also bring baked goods and other snacks to be used on Sunday mornings.
