A Note from our
DOM, Jim
I am excited to introduce to you our new
counselor at the Baptist Association, Curtis
Heyward! Curtis is an ordained minister who
attended New Orleans Baptist Theological
Seminary & received a Master of Divinity
degree in Psychology and Counseling.
Orginally from Georgia, Curtis has worked
since 2004 in Mississippi in a Mental Health
Center conducting individual & group
counseling sessions for children & teenagers.
He has also worked as a counselor for adults
in an office setting.
Curtis is married to Loresa and they have two
children, Richie & Jamie. They are currently
in the process of finding a home here in Rome.
If you would like Curtis to speak his heart
about this wonderful ministry at your church
or small group, please call 706-291-9992.
Bethany Hadaway, our previous counselor, has
returned to Arizona to be married.

Notes from the Baptist Center:
I admit it…I am a news junkie! I feel the need to be informed about things that
are happening in our world. Every morning, as I drink my coffee, I catch up on
what happened while I was sleeping. Most of what I hear is not good news.
Gas prices are rising, food costs are soaring, tomatoes are not good for us…the
list goes on and on. Then I take out the word of God and read the Good News!
Jesus Christ is still on the throne. Salvation is still a gift from God. And no
matter what is happening in this world, the God we love and serve is still all
powerful! This news needs to be spread like wildfire in and around Floyd
County. That’s what we do at the Baptist Center. We tell the glorious Good
News of Jesus Christ to those who come for help. You can be a part of this just
by volunteering with us. There is no greater reward for Christians than to tell
someone who is hurting that Jesus loves them. What are you waiting for?

DATES TO REMEMBER!
ATTENTION
VOLUNTEERS!
Starting in September, we will not have
“assigned church days” for the Baptist
Center (food pantry, etc).
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Please pick a Tuesday or Thursday
that you can help out & let us know.
There are days when we have 20
clients & no volunteers and other days
when we have plenty of volunteers and
no clients… Check your schedule & let
us know if you would like to serve
monthly, bi-monthly, etc and if you
would also like to be considered when
we have special events like the dental
clinic, toys at Christmas, etc. We are
so thankful to all our volunteers we
have! We can’t do it without you. We
want to make it easy on everyone.
Please help us reach Floyd County for
Jesus with your ministry here at the
Baptist Center.
