The Heart and Hands of Christ

Welcome to PBC' Music Ministry

In Colossians 3:16 we are told to let the word of Christ richly live within us. But how do we do this? By teaching wisdom through God’s Word and by singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. The mission of Pintlala Baptist Church’s Music Ministry is to provide opportunities where anyone who wants to honor God through song and praise can come and join us. We have people from all walks of life involved in our Music Ministry: nurses, teachers, farmers, veterinarians, students, mechanics, and so on. Most of them are not professional musicians who can read music, but all of us love the Lord and we give our best to Him. The following are areas where you can become involved:

Sanctuary Choir

The Sanctuary choir practices in the choir room every Wednesday night at 7 PM. This group is open to anyone ages 16 and up. They present an anthem almost every Sunday during our worship service along with seasonal events such as Christmas and Easter.

Handbell Choir

The Handbell choir practices in the choir room Sunday afternoons directly after our morning worship services. This group is open to anyone ages 16 and up. They present anthems seasonally during events such as: Anniversary Sunday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.

Children’s Music Ministry

Children’s choir meets in the choir room every Wednesday night at 6 PM. The kids work to learn songs that they present in our Sunday worship throughout the year, and are taught our VBS songs to help teach others during Vacation Bible School.

Sound and Media Ministry

This area of our ministry meets our need for running sound, slides and video projection, and streaming our services through our website, pintlalabaptist.com. This area extends the reach of our shared ministry to those who cannot physically join us for worship, and to others around the world.

What is ADY?

ADY which stands for Ain't Done Yet is a community-wide group targeting active older adults and is sponsored by Pintlala Baptist Church. We meet on the second Tuesday of each month in the PBC fellowship hall at 10:00 am. Guest speakers, devotions, musical entertainment, meals, road trips, and games are just some of the ways ADY supports our group with the priorities of fun and fellowship

The Group has been in existence since 1979 and continues to flourish. There are no dues for membership, nor do you have to be a member of Pintlala Baptist Church to attend. ADY is open to anyone who is interested in participating. We hope you will give us a try!

The Women's Ministry

The Men's Ministry

The Men’s Ministry works to share God’s love with members of the church and the community. The group, which is currently under the leadership of Dan Singleton, works to involve all ages to help with the ministry various projects. Building ramps for those with mobility issues and providing meat to the local food bank through the Hunt for the Hungry campaign are just two examples of how the Men’s Ministry works to meet physical needs. Building bonds within the church is also another goal of this group. Events such as church-wide breakfasts and the Wild Game Supper provide opportunities for fellowship. The Men’s Ministry endeavors to provide recreational opportunities for the children with events, such as fishing, archery, and building bird houses.

Mad Hatters

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations. Matthew 28:17

The Mad Hatters was created on the premise that we look at what we have in our hands, then we use it in service of Christ. In this case, what we had in our hands were yarn, crochet hooks, knitting needles, sewing thread and sewing needles. The Mad Hatters began in July 2006 with a delivery to the NICU at Baptist South Medical Center. This group went on to make and deliver over 1700 blankets and over 1500 caps to the NICU.

Mad Hatter projects:

* Blankets and caps for the NICU at Baptist South Medical Center

* Lapghans and Poppies for VA Hospice.

* Lapghans, hats, and scarves for Community of Hope.

* Friendship blankets for homebound, hospital patients, and the bereaved at PBC

* Items for the Christmas Cheer baskets for the homebound at PBC.

We are always looking for new members of the Mad Hatters, so if you are a crocheter, knitter or like to sew, come join us.

Stewardship

Emphasis

Giving matters ….

Your gifts to our church really do matter. They matter in so many ways and to so many people.

Please take a moment, now, or in the near future to consider all the ways in which Pintlala Baptist Church matters to you and your loved ones. Have you made new friends, found a quiet sanctuary in your busy life, discovered answers or surfaced new questions? Have you found a community of support, joy or comfort?

Your contribution supports our clergy, our worship services, our ministries, and social events – everything that makes us a community. It supports all the ingredients that go into making this church a place for learning, for service, for worship… a place for solace and celebration. Your giving throughout the year supports our church as a place that matters to us, to Pintlala and even to communities throughout the world.

Everything comes at a price. Operating expenses never go away. They don’t wait for the economy to recover or for oil prices to drop. We need to continue to fully fund our budget to ensure that the church’s current level of wonderful ministries that we have all grown accustomed to can continue.

Your gifts are greatly appreciated!

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:19-21)

Giving Matters

Giving, Growing, Grounded

Who is a steward?

Stewardship should be more than just material and money matters. Stewardship describes the basic orientation of life as a gift of God. Christians are called to serve the world through their unique gifts given to us all by God that extend beyond the boundaries of race, gender or wealth. Wise and generous use of these gifts is a way of learning how to live as servants of Christ and “stewards of the mysteries of God”. (1 Corinthians 4:1)

How can God call you to give?

Stewardship is a personal as well as communal practice. At Pintlala Baptist Church there are countless opportunities in which stewardship may work itself into your life.

· Teaching

· Volunteering for ministries and mission projects

· Being a role model

· Tithing

· Special gifts

· Presence at Sunday School and Worship

· Growth in faithfulness and spiritual practices.

This sampling of stewardship opportunities reflects a basic attitude of Christian stewardship – the care and nurture of our life together. The partnership with others who share a longing for God.

What will happen?

When you contribute your time, talent and resources, ministry happens. As you discover your gifts and affirm the gifts of others, God will be present in all we do. Because of individual giving, we are able to do far more together than any of us can do alone. To affirm and share in PBC’s ministry is to encourage one another to be generous. To be generous is to be a steward for the sake of Christ (2 Corinthians 8:9).

Medical Outreach

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations. Matthew 28:17

Pintlala Baptist Church partners with other Montgomery churches to minister to the physical and spiritual needs of our neighbors through the Medical Outreach Ministries Family Health Center located in Montgomery. We support them through many volunteers who give many hours a week to help staff the facility. We also give support through prayer and finances for this much needed ministry sponsored by the Baptist Medical Center.
