Piney Grove Baptist Church

Welcome to Piney Grove! Welcome to the worship of God at Piney Grove Baptist Church. We hope that you will experience the presence of the Risen Lord in this place. If you are a guest, we hope the following information will prove helpful to you:  Communication Cards are located in the pew rack in front of you. We would love for our guests to fill out a card and drop it in the offering plate during the service. The information that you share will assist us as we welcome you to our church.  Sermons from the previous week’s service are available online through the church website. If you would like a manuscript copy of the pastor’s sermon, contact Scottie Isaacs in the church office and he’ll be glad to send you a copy.  Bible Study for all ages is offered on a regular basis at 9:45 AM on Sundays. Our Special Friends Class seeks to serve persons with special needs. We would be happy to help you find the class that is right for you. In addition to Sunday School, our pastor leads a large group Bible Study on Wednesdays at 6:30 PM in the Sanctuary. At the same time, we offer “G.R.O.V.E. KIDZ,” a program for our children that incorporates the study of the Bible and missions, recreation, crafts, snacks, and music.  A New Member’s Class is offered periodically. It is a chance to meet with the pastor for three Sundays during the Sunday School hour to discuss the way Piney Grove operates, learn about Baptist distinctives, and to answer any questions you might have. Please see Rev. Reece if you are interested in attending.  An Invitation to make a public decision of your commitment to follow Christ or your commitment to unite with the membership of our church family is given at the end of each Sunday morning service. Prior to making this decision any of our ministers will be happy to meet with you to help you as you make your decision. If you are a guest with us, we are so glad that you have come our way. We want to do whatever we can to help you find a church home that is right for you.

Preparing Our Hearts for Worship "Pray to him, is what I am saying. In whatever words you have. And if the little voice that is inside all of us as the inheritance of generations of unfaith, if this little voice inside says, 'But I don't believe. I don't believe,' don't worry too much. Just keep on anyway. 'Lord, I believe; help my unbelief' is the best any of us can do really, but thank God it is enough." David Lose

“Follow On”

Down in the valley with my Savior I would go, Where the flowers are blooming and the sweet waters flow; Everywhere he leads me I would follow, follow on, Walking in his footsteps till the crown be won. Chorus: Follow! Follow! I would follow Jesus! Anywhere, everywhere, I would follow on! Follow! Follow! I would follow Jesus! Everywhere he leads me I would follow on!

Barnett

Verse: This is the air I breathe, this is the air I breathe; Your holy presence living in me. This is my daily bread, this is my daily bread; Your very Word spoken to me.

Verse Chorus X2 I’m lost without You. I’m lost without You. †Benediction

Down in the valley or upon the mountain steep, Close beside my Savior would my soul ever keep; He will lead me safely in the path that he has trod, Up to where they gather on the hills of God.
