Serving in the Military: Airman Cody Minter, USAF, 1341 Princeton Street, Abilene, TX 79602 As some of you already know, my husband has been in rehab following surgery in January. I brought him home last Sunday and he is still unable to walk. I may be popping in and out of the office for the next couple of weeks in order to get things settled with him. If I am out of the office, please either leave a message on the church office phone (276) 638-8861 or email the church at church@starlingavenue.org. I will be checking emails and messages and will get back to you as soon as I can. I will strive to keep everything running as smoothly as possible. Thanks for your understanding and prayers. Barbara Rakes Here are current ways to continue to give to the ministry and mission of SABC: -In the offering plates at the Check-In Tables at in-person worship -Through USPS to 932 Starling Avenue, Martinsville, VA 24112. Your offering envelopes are already self-addressed. All you need is a stamp and tape to reinforce. -Drop off your envelopes in the locked mailbox outside of the Church Office. -Set up an automatic or one-time bank draft through your bank. Simply go to your bank’s bill pay webpage. Set up Starling Avenue Baptist Church as the “payee” and have your payments automatically delivered electronically. This is simple and doesn’t cost you or the church any fees. -Online giving available at www.starlingavenue.org. You can choose “Cover Fees” to slightly increase your gift to pay processing fees.
