"Every

church is important," said Barry Odom, pastor of

evangelism and missions for Braelinn Baptist Church.

"We

want to position ourselves so that people who are seeking

a place will find comfort here if they seek us out."

If

traveling and helping others is some of the comfort you

are seeking, this is the place for you. If you're a

teenager, church teens will be heading to Puerto Rico in

July to build a house for a family and help bring up

substandard housing for others.

In June

they will head for the beach in Laguna Beach, Fla. where

they not only will dive into the water, but also will

dive into the words of God.

Also in

June and July, trips to Birmingham and Knoxville will

find them in inner city settings sharing their labor and

talents with teens less fortunate.

Are you an

adult and would like to take a cruise? How about taking

one with a purpose as you dock at Italy and spend your

days performing on-shore ministry. Ten days will be spent

in sharing the gospel in Italy.

Or perhaps

you would like to board a cruise ship (Operation

Mobilization) in July and minister to the ship's crew

through praise and worship, music and drama. Then relieve

them in their ship duties as they take a few days off and

you get to cook and wash dishes on the high seas.

Serving

people at home is equally important to the 900 members in

attendance each week.

"ladies night out" is offered with a different

theme for each event: there are four different bands; a

program will be conducted several times throughout the

year entitled "Crop `til you drop," which will

be a teaching session in preserving photos and memories;

student dramas, adult drama dessert Theater, as well as

events involving the whole family.

Sixth

graders are invited to "ROCK." That's Radically

On-fire Christlike Kids. Activities include scavenger

hunts, roller skating, hay rides, pool parties and golf

car rallies.

If you want

to participate in a really big Easter egg hunt, come to

the church Saturday, April 22, from 10:30 a.m. to noon.

Those in

the community as well as in the church in the toddler

through kindergarten age can participate in pony rides,

free face-painting, taking a moon walk, and the best part

of all - hunting for 4,000 Easter eggs.

The church

is at 777 Robinson Road, Peachtree City, and can be

reached at 770-487-6691.
