The Word for Life is the weekly television broadcast of
Taylor Road Baptist Church. We have received many
telephone calls and notes to inform us of the HOPE that
God’s Word is providing through this program. God’s
Word offers the hope we need during these difficult
financial times. For whatever things were written before
were written for our learning, that we through endurance
and the comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.
(Romans 15:4)
Sometimes life is difficult. During those times, we are
called to endure; even though it’s hard and our emotions
are screaming that we should give up because nothing
is going to change. Those feelings are natural, and
that’s the problem. Natural isn’t good enough; we need
supernatural strength for endurance.
The Bible is a living book, totally relevant to our lives.
It is even more up-to-date than this morning’s news.
The main character of the Book, God, is alive and well,
and very much in touch with what’s happening in our
lives. We need, therefore, to hear God and His Word.
Hebrews 10:23, 24 states, Let us hold fast the confession
of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is
faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir
up love and good works.
If you are going through tough times, then prepare your
mind to hold on with supernatural endurance and the
comfort of God’s Word. Our hope is steadfast and sure.
Make it your aim to read and believe God’s Word every
day in the month of March.
In His Love,
From Pastor Andy...

Please pray for the following students as
they prepare spiritually and begin to seek
the essential funds to support their
service in Jamaica:
Hopefully, you have noticed recent changes to the Sun-day morning worship guide and to our web site, TaylorRoad.org. Both have been updated to help you find the information that you need to know about the programs, services, people, and events at Taylor Road Baptist Church a little more easily.
Each month, over 500 people visit TaylorRoad.org to learn more about our church; some visit 2-3 times during the month. The web site is being con-tinually expanded and refined to help especially people who are looking for information about our church. It now includes areas for Sunday Morning Bible Study classes to provide information about themselves and its partici-pants. Also, classes may want to take advantage of an option to add a mes-sage board to the class page. It’s an easy option to add and is another great way to keep your class connected!
Another social networking advancement in re-cent years is Facebook. Over 25 million people are using Facebook as a way to connect with new and old friends, share pictures and videos, and to a get a glimpse into each other’s busy lives. On the front page of the TaylorRoad.org web site there is a link to the Taylor Road group where you can connect with about 90 other church members who have already joined our group. Create a profile, join the Taylor Road group, and connect with your fellow church members!
Last but not least, don’t forget that you can receive Archways in your e-mail box each month. To subscribe, send an e-mail message to [email protected]. You can help the church reduce postage and printing costs by about $1.25 for each monthly issue.

Children's Ministry
February was great! If you missed out on the “My Heart Belongs to Dad” dinner for fathers and daughters, you missed
a treat! Over 60 fathers and daughters attended and enjoyed a spaghetti supper, games, and entertainment. The focus
of the evening was the fathers’ relationships with their daughters. Lee Dymond spoke and encouraged fathers to take
on the role of standing in the gap in their daughter’s lives and protecting them. He charged them to be warriors who
teach their daughters what to look for in their future mates. Check out each couple’s picture and other pictures of
the event on our web site, www. TaylorRoad.org.
February was Food Collection Month. The Awanas and GAs collected the most food we have seen in recent years.
The Chisholm Ministry Center is very thankful to our church family for being consistently generous in supplying food
for their year-round distribution.
It’s only March, but we are already planning a fabulous summer here at Taylor Road Baptist Church. Registration
for our children’s summer camp, The Rock, begins this month. Look for Ruth and/or David Givens in the Grand
Foyer before and after church each Sunday to register your child or to get more information. Following is the basic
information:
Date: June 1-5
Location: Laguna Beach, Florida
Cost: $200
Ages: Those having completed Grade 3-those having completed Grade 6
Vacation Bible School is also quickly approaching. Please pray to know
how God would have you contribute this year. As always, we need workers
in every area and would love to see you take part. Watch for upcoming
meetings and training sessions for the Boomerang Express!

Preschool MinistryRegistration for Summer and Fall Mother’s Day Out and Kindergarten will continue through the month of

We are real pleased with the amount of boys and girls that are enrolled for 2008-2009, please don’t miss this
opportunity to have your spot reserved for
Summer and Fall.
The Alabama Baptist Vacation Bible School
state training team held its kick-off training for
Boomerang Express at TRBC. I got to check
out what is ahead for us in July for our Vaca-
tion Bible School! Boomerang Express has
some very exciting things in store—so get
ready for a trip down under. The training for
our VBS team will be in April.
The second annual Father/Daughter Banquet was a sweet success. If you would like to see some of the high-
lights, go to the church web page at www.TaylorRoad.org and take a look.

Good News ClubTwo-thirds of the children in our neighborhoods do not go to Sunday School or Church or receive any Biblical education. They do not know who Jesus is. They are the future of our country. Research tells us that 85% of Christians were saved between the ages of 4-14. It is critically important to reach people with the Gospel of
Jesus Christ when they are young.
We have a great opportunity to reach young people at Halcyon Elementary School. Due to a Supreme Court decision of 2001, we can take the Good News of Jesus Christ to the school through the Good News Club,
which meets on Mondays at the end of the school day. We have a teacher but still need helpers to begin a new club that will reach many children. Please pray about helping. Contact Ruth Givens at the church
office to volunteer.
Children’s Musical Begins NOW!!!!
The Children’s Choirs, grades 1-6, will begin work this Sunday,
March 1, on their Spring Musical. “The Secret of My Success”
is a fantastic musical about a career woman who’s all caught
up in believing that success is based on making lots of money.
As she interviews for a job at the bank, (the bank frequented
by the Beverly Hillbillies) she begins to understand that
there’s more to life than making money. This is one of the
best children’s musicals ever written. It’s funny, has a story
that’s very appropriate for the economic time we live in, and
shares the true “Secret of Success” in a very creative and
meaningful way.
Bring your children to Choir beginning this Sunday afternoon at 5:30 on the Children’s Hall. Work with Ms. Cindy
and Mr. Michael and their team to be a part of this fun, learning experience. This could be the best musical
ever done at Taylor Road!!!!
