Exciting things are happening at Zoar Baptist Church in Deltaville. They have several studies in progress. One is for parents at night and another is a ladies Bible study during the day. “Fourteen Gospel Principles that Can Radically Change Your Family, Parenting” by Paul David Tripp is the book they are currently studying. They meet every Wednesday night from 6:30-7:30 p.m. They can also “Zoom you in” if you are unable to attend in person. The Ladies Bible Study meets at 11 a.m. every Wednesday in the fellowship hall and discusses Julie P. Fitchuk’s, “Revelations.” Call the office at 804-776-9502 if you are interested in either of these studies.
Every Wednesday night the Community Youth Group meets in the fellowship hall from 6-8 p.m. They are served dinner, have game time and study verses in the Bible after watching a video.

More than 350 people attended the Oct. 1 “One Community Under God” (OCUG) at the Middlesex Volunteer Fire Department in Urbanna. Those who came enjoyed a wide range of superb, spiritual music; words about unity from The Bible and a wonderful, heart touching, encouraging message to those who serve God. Fellowship was enjoyed while sharing a light luncheon available to all.
“One Community Under God” was hosted by several county churches and open to all to come together to listen, hear and praise God’s word.
The churches who co-hosted this year’s OCUG were Antioch Baptist, Calvary Baptist, Christ Church Parish, First Baptist Amburg, Grafton Baptist, Immanuel Baptist, Mt. Zion Baptist, Pure Life Church, Urbanna Baptist and Urbanna United Methodist.
