Dover Baptist



Dover Baptist Church- one of the four churches in our association. Pray that God would supply a pastor for this church so they will not have to shut their doors. Over fifty years ago this building floated up the river. It is a historical landmark.

    They floated it up the river on purpose, by the way. I think the who town moved for some reason. Some people who have looked at the condition of the building believe it needs to be pushed back into the river.

This past week we volunteered for the IronMan competition that was held here. Over 2,000 athletes competed from all over the country and all over the world. In the midst of all the activities, we have had a little unpacking to do. I think there may be just a few boxes left. On Saturday the church and mission teams here helped feed pancakes to over 1,000 people participating or helping with the IronMan. This week please pray for us as we are helping with a VBS at another church in our association. That Artic Edge song will get stuck in your head. Beware! We are so thankful to be here, and we are really thankful for your prayers. Come see us! We miss you already. May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all natio...
