Rashional Thoughts: Help us celebrate our half-birthday with extra prayers

Rashional Thoughts: Help us celebrate our half-birthday with extra prayers

Earlier this year, The Alabama Baptist marked 180 years of serving Alabama Baptists. In fact, we are currently at the half-year mark right in time for Read The Alabama Baptist Day, Aug. 20.

A lot has changed since 1843, but our mission remains the same: to equip you with resources and information — and serve with competence, compassion and fairness as a dependable news source.

You, and many others before you, have played a role in supporting this ministry that has now grown into a full media group.

We’ve expanded to include a digital edition for on-the-go reading, a variety of podcasts, a website hosting service for churches and even a second, national publication, The Baptist Paper.

Striving forward

Both The Baptist Paper and The Alabama Baptist continue to be available in print, and The Alabama Baptist is now the largest circulated newspaper in the state.

We plan to continue informing, inspiring and connecting Baptists for many more years to come. We know it’s possible because of your partnership. You are the lifeblood of what we do. You are the people we serve.

We thank you for giving through the Cooperative Program. Your gifts support a slate of incredible ministry efforts, including TAB Media Group.

We also are grateful for your subscriptions to The Alabama Baptist, The Baptist Paper and all of our digital offerings. Without your support in this way, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do.

No matter how you engage with the content produced by TAB Media Group, always keep us in your prayers. Pray for our staff and our ministry efforts, that we would be tireless in communicating truth with compassion.

Sunday, Aug. 20, would be an excellent day to share this message with your Sunday School class, small group or even full church family.

Knowing Baptists across the state are praying for us, and especially on the same day, would be the best half-birthday gift you could give us.

We are here for you, Alabama Baptists, and we need your help along the journey. Together, we can move the Kingdom forward, one story at a time.
