The program is scheduled to start at 5:00 pm and end at 8:00pm. The purpose of this event is to assist local area food banks with collecting food for families in need for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Praise Him, Praise Him, all ye little children (and adults, too)

Charles Town Baptist Church is starting a once a month family praise night. If you love to sing contemporary praise songs join us on November 1st at 7:00 in the santuary. This will be on the first Saturday of each month, so if you can't make it to this one, stick it on your calender for next month.

We are in need of Volunteers

The church is in need of volunteers to provide the children's sermon during the Sunday Services. Volunteers are on a rotation basis so your turn may come just once a month and is flexible.

We are also looking for nursery workers during the 11:00 service. Please consider sharing your time and talents with our children.

Please call the office at 304-725-5917 if you can help in this way. Thank You!
