let me recommend.
He's the great Physician; He's food in a starving land; He's a lawyer in a court room; and most of all, He's a Savior. His name is JESUS."

Happy 39th Year Anniversary

Pastor and First Lady Irene Basken

In Honor Of Service

For 39 years, the Middle Baptist Church-Whitehaven congregation has been blessed with a shepherd who teaches the Word of God. He not only teaches during Sunday morning worship service, but he also teaches a Tuesday night teachers' meeting, Wednesday night Bible class, Sunday morning new members' class and co-teaches Class No. 20 Sunday School.

Even with such a tight schedule, pastor Basken still has an open-door policy for his members. He visits members in the hospitals, those confined to their homes and those in nursing homes. He is a loyal resident of the Whitehaven community, where he devotes a great deal of time and energy trying to help keep the community a place worthy to live.

Without the support of first lady Irene Basken, it would be ultimately impossible for pastor Basken to handle the responsibilities that he does. The first lady is a Sunday school teacher, a choir member, co-founder of the Firday noon prayer and praise service and a devoted wife for more than 56 years. They are the parents of two daughters; grandparents of seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Middle Baptist Church continues to grow under Basken's leadership. The family of Middle Baptist Church salutes its pastor and first lady for providing them with 39 years of loyal, dedicated and devoted service.

Pastor's Food For Thought:
"You never Win when you play with Sin."

Pastor's Food For Thought: "You never Win when you play with Sin."				The Goal of Middle Baptist Church The goal of Middle Baptist Church is to focus on four aspects which we feel are essential for the spiritual growth of our church. They are: · Worship · Evangelism · Christian Education, and · Community Service In addition to being focused on the above list, as a church, we also encourage each member to find a specific ministry and to become involved. This is vital if we are to promote the Word of God and increase His kingdom in this world. "Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." Matthew 20:28 It is the responsibility of Christians to minister and to bring souls to Christ. We invite you to worship with us each Sunday at 11:00 a.m. At 9:30 a.m., we offer Sunday school classes for all age groups. If you do not have a church home, we invite you to become a part of our family. “We are small enough to know you and large enough to serve you.” Middle Baptist is located at 801 Whitehaven Lane, Memphis, Tennessee. More information is available by calling the Church Office at (901) 396-0191. Oh Come and Let us Worship Together! We Give Praise and Honor to our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for our sin and rose for our Salvation!
