Most Excellent Way. 

 The Most Excellent Way is a loving group of men and women affected directly or indirectly by various addictions and spiritual setbacks in life.

Most Excellent Way Friends and Family.

The Most Excellent Way Friends and Family meetings help spouses, parents and adult children stop trying to control, fix and blame their dependent loved ones for their own misery. They receive loving support and learn how others are becoming God-dependent:  the process of taking personal responsibility for their thoughts, attitudes and actions in order to change their turbulent lifestyles.  To learn more about this program or to enroll,

Nursing Home Bible Study Ministry. 

 Currently Myrtle Grove Baptist Church conducts bible study each Tuesday at Homestead Village, an Assisted Living facility.  These studies, held at 10 AM, were planned for members of Myrtle Grove Baptist Church who are no longer able to attend regular services.  Members from other fellowships attend, however, and enrollment has grown to 24 residents.  Following the Bible study, the ministers visit with members individually who were unable to attend. 

The blessings received by the ministers far outweigh the blessings given to the residents.  To assist in this ministry, or to begin a ministry at another location,

The Homebound Ministry is an arm of the Sunday School.  Our members are often folks who have served our church faithfully when they were physically able.  Now we work to assure them that the church has not forgotten them.  Our visitors go at least once a month to carry literature, discuss the Bible, pray with them and LISTEN.  They are always eager to have someone to talk with.  All of our workers agree that we receive great blessings from this work.  Presently we have eighteen workers - Seventeen ladies and one man.  This would be a great way for a couple to serve together.  Come help us show God’s love to these precious old folks.

Widow’s Mite. 

Widow’s Mite is a support group for widows.  We are there for ladies who have experienced the death of their husband and need understanding and encouragement from those who have been through the adjustment of living without a spouse.  The fellowship we have through luncheons, volunteering in the Food Pantry, the Clothing Room, making telephone calls and participating in other ministries of the church keep us active.  We invite all widows to come to the luncheons and stay busy with us in our projects.
