Update on this year's Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. As of January 2nd, we have surpassed our goal of $1,100. We have collected $1,108. Great job! This is especially impressive considering all the other things that members have been asked to contribute to lately. Way to step up Dover Baptists!!!!  

There will be a Youth Fundraiser on Sunday, January 16th, immediately after the morning worship service. There will be a Dessert Auction in the Family Life Center. Bro. Bradley will be the auctioneer for the event. We need volunteers to bring in your favorite desserts for the auction. If you have any questions, see Michael or Patti. Bidder, bidder, bidder......  

A BIG thank you goes out to everyone who contributed to the Tornado Disaster Relief offering taken up, after church on Sunday, December 19th. According to church treasurer, Lily Drury, we were able to give $2,840 to those effected by the tornadoes. Dover Baptist has that giving spirit! AMEN (Photo by Brandon Clement/WXChasing)

On Sunday, January 2nd, 2022, Dover Baptist Church was pleased to have the Bro. Nicolae Vat Family provide both the special music and the sermon. The Vat's have been in the United States for the past five years and will be returning to their native Romania shortly. The sermon was "Keep Your Eyes Focused on Jesus." Biblical reference was from Matthew 14:22-33. What a great service!

UPDATE! Dover Baptist Church took up an offering to help the Vat Family after the service. The church raised $1455.64 to help them with their mission back in Romania. Great job everyone! To see some photos from the service, click the image.
