The Balmoral Banner – August 2026

"His Banner Over Me Is Love" – Song of Solomon 2:4

A Message from Our Pastor

July was a challenging yet rewarding month for our church family. Pastor Greg experienced an unexpected hospitalization that caused him to miss two weeks during the month. Despite this, God continued to bless Balmoral in many ways.

We were privileged to host another successful Vacation Bible School, led by the outstanding team from Bellevue Baptist Church. We are grateful for everyone who volunteered, prepared refreshments, and served throughout the week. Together, we welcomed 25 children and 33 total participants, including our dedicated workers. We praise God for His faithfulness and thank everyone who made VBS such a success.

As we enter August, we are preparing for our new church year, which begins September 1. While we continue celebrating our Year of Caring, our Nominating Committee is working to identify leaders for Sunday School classes, ministry organizations, and church committees. Our prayer is that every member will find an opportunity to serve as we continue rebuilding and growing Balmoral Baptist Church for the glory of God.

The Church Leadership Team will meet to plan for the upcoming ministry year, and all members who desire to see Balmoral grow are encouraged to become involved. Together, we can reach more people with the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Thank you for your continued love, prayers, and support. Karen and I count it a privilege and joy to serve as your pastor and wife.

— Brother Greg
