Pastor's Corner
Dear Church Family,
While reading in Proverbs, I came across chapter sixteen and verse seven. "When a man's ways please the Lord, He makes even his ememies to be at peace with him." As I read that, God spoke to my heart. I began to reflect on the subject and realized that this is yet another good reason to serve the Lord. First of all we are to understand that when we became a Christian, we died to self. Paul said in Galatians chapter two, that we are crucified with Christ, meaning that we don't belong to ourselves anymore, but to do what is right in God's eyes through serving Him and to reap the benefit of settling our enemies, WOW!!!
If you are in the Beaufort area and are without a church home, we would like to invite you to Grays Hill Baptist. We are a growing church that caters to the community. We are also a military family friendly church. We are located next to the Marine Corps Air Station, Beaufort. Come and visit and experience Christ’s love through His people here at Grays Hill Baptist Church.
Thanking HIM for You,
Pastor Jim Baker

What does the Fish symbol mean?
You may wonder why you see so many fish symbols on cars and trucks these days. Well, the fish is a Christian symbol which got it's origin after Jesus was ascended into Heaven. The new Christians were being persecuted and even put to horrible deaths because of their faith. The story goes that they devised a way to secretly signal other Christians or, if just meeting someone, to find out if that person were also a believer by simply taking their foot and casually drawing an arc with their toe on the ground. Then, if the other person was a Christian, he, just as causally, would draw an ark with his toe to complete the fish. Now, they could speak to each other about their faith and pass along information without fear. Additionally, Jesus has asked His followers (Christians) to be fishers of men. So the fish is a proud symbol of who we are.
