We here in the West Chowan Baptist Association are committed to the task of "producing much fruit" (John 15:8) by assisting our churches in the process of making "Christ Followers who will Follow Christ." Our vision of making "Christ Followers who will Follow Christ" is driven by the imperatives of Christ which are hung on the following three non-negotiable characteristics of a Christ Follower: 1) GIVE UP by Surrendering (Luke 9:23), Sacrificing (Luke 14:33) and Listening (John 10:27), 2) GIVE IN by Abiding in His word (John 8:31), Obeying His commands (Luke 5:27), and Walking in His Light (John 8:12), 3) GIVE OUT by Loving one another (John 13:35), becoming a Servant (John 12:26), and Sharing our faith (Matthew 4:19). |

| June 01, 2022 Based on several issues that have developed over the last few years and particularly lately, I chose to deviate from my normal style of newsletter articles to address, what I see, as troubling cultural problems that cannot be ignored. Given the recent incidences of violence in schools (New York and Texas), in places of business, or within the communities and homes of America, we are all on edge about what the future holds.
