Shiloh Sponsors Pack 294

Did you know that Shiloh sponsors its very own Cub and Boy Scouts?

Pack 294, under the leadership of Cubmaster Jeffrey King, belongs in essence to Shiloh. The Men's Ministry is partnering with Jeffrey King to develop a strong pack base for our young boys here and in the community.

Men, like the Boston Red Sox, you are asked to step up to the plate and take responsibility for Scout Pack 294. We need leaders and mentors, pack committee members, and helpers to assist in building character and integrity amongst our young boys and guide our youth toward a bright and promising future. Interested men can reach Jeff at 338-9763.

Men's Sunday Bible Class

Rev. Robert Mitchell leads a Men's Sunday Bible Class in questions and answers and Bible study. John 5:39 says "Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life..." In this class, the brethren are asked to bring bible passages and questions so that we may search and find God's answers to many of our unanswered questions. The searching and researching often leads to extended Bible study in areas that nuture our lives. Please join us in Rev. Mitchell's class on Sundays at 9:45 AM in the American Baptist Churches (ABC) building, located behind the church's rear parking lot.
