Welcome to the
De Soto Baptist Church web site! Please check back
frequently as we continue to add more information.
From the Pastor's
Pen...
We talk about the oneness we share in
Christ among our Churches and we emphasize the need for unity in the
midst of adversity, but to see this oneness in Christ in a community
is a great witness to this truth. Such was the case recently
when our church was used for the visitation and Rosary for a
Catholic family of our community. The De Soto Baptist Church
was honored, lifted up and regarded as a co-worker in Christ by
their gesture. Approximately 900 people passed through the
visitation that evening and were able to witness our oneness in
Christ.
We should be thankful that the Ross
family respected us enough to allow us to be a part of this very
difficult experience in their lives.
Likewise the Ross family has expressed
their gratefulness to us for being open to them through this
expression sympathy. Their very meaningful note of thanks is
here for all of our church to read.
Richard
Reverend Copeland and Members:
We want to thank you and your
congregation for allowing us to use your beautiful church for Mark's
visitation. We also want to thank your members, our friends,
who offered support to us at this difficult time.
We have a wonderful Christian
community in De Soto. It reveals true Christian spirit when
members reach beyond religious beliefs to help one another as your
congregation has.
Thank you again. May God Bless all of
you.

of Mark Ross

volunteers to help us, for which we are most grateful. Our VBS
is open to all children ages 3 through 12, so be sure to encourage
family , friends, and neighbors to enroll their children for this
week full of fun and excitement.
If you cannot volunteer
to help but would like to make a financial contribution, there are
envelopes spread throughout the pews. You can label them with
VBS and then put them in the offering plate or in the VBS basket in
the vestibule. We appreciate all of the support we receive
every year for this most important outreach ministry.
