Thank you for partnering and serving in ministry with us as part of God’s family

Whether you are a “cover to cover” reader or one who flips through reading the headlines and the occasional article, we are glad you are partnering with the ministry of The Alabama Baptist newspaper and the overall TAB Media group.

You are important to us and in our minds each day as we make decisions on content choices, what resources to promote and provide, and how best to communicate the difficult news that sometimes has to be shared.

Through our weekly content and resources, we strive to strengthen and build up individual believers, congregations as a whole and the full circle of those in Baptist life.

We reach out to experts in various fields of study to help us develop the educational pieces, and we love telling the stories of everyday heroes all around us.

Your voice matters to us too, so be sure to let us know of concerns or questions you have. You always have a seat at the table and we would love to hear from you.

We will do our best to work through any concerns with you. It truly is OK to ask why something appeared in the paper or the reasoning behind how a situation was covered. We are glad to have that conversation any time.

Also be sure to share calls, emails, letters and other messages of encouragement and support. They always make our day. 

We love when friends from across the state and nation drop us a line or send a fun photo, like the one shown with this article from Jerry Wilkins, retired associational missions director of Tuscaloosa Baptist Association.

An author and minister, Wilkins writes for us from time to time and specializes in communications strategies in personal relationships and ministry efforts.

He emailed us a “Happy New Year” message and the photo above last week while stretched out reading the paper — and we loved it. 

It meant a lot to hear from him. He not only subscribes to TAB, but he also was reading the paper the same day it arrived. And he thought enough of us to take a few minutes to say hello.

Another good friend, Jim Oakley of Centreville, reaches out often as well after reading My Rashionale or another article in the paper.

So many more of you are always good to stay connected and send notes of encouragement or mention something when you see us. It truly does make a difference and we wanted to say thank you. (TAB)
