Stones River Baptist Church is a Southern Baptist Church, and we are a very missions-minded body of believers! We give to missions work through the Cooperative Program, and by supporting the Annie Armstrong Easter offering (North American Missions), Golden State Missions offering (State Missions), and Lottie Moon offering (International Missions). Listed below are our various missions programs, and we invite people of all ages to join us in our mission to help spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to show His love for others.

PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY - ALL AGES
Our Prayer Shawl Ministry group meets every Tuesday at 10:00 AM, in the church Conference Room. If you feel a need to reach out to someone who needs a prayer and a hug - to the sick in the hospital, a caregiver - a homebound person, or a sick baby, please bring your yarn, knitting and crochet needles, and join our group! We make prayer shawls, prayer quilts, and baby blankets, praying for each recepient as we work. All ages are welcome! We will teach you, and you can do your work at home. We have already delivered 55 items - some of them out of the country. Please join us - it has certainly helped my prayer life, and I believe it will help yours, too!
Knitting in Love,
