The Sacred Music Services (SMS) Men's Quartet first came together in 1989, when the SMS Men's Choir was formed for its first recording, I Sing the Mighty Power of God.  Since that time the quartet has sung in conferences and churches across the country, and has also made three recordings:  Be Thou Exalted, Be Not Discouraged, and Let Us Praise His Name.  Members of the group include:  Phil Gingery (1st tenor; Music Pastor at Bible Baptist Church in West Chester, PA), Mac Lynch (2nd tenor; Music Director at The Wilds Christian Camp and Conference Center in Brevard, NC), Dr. Tim Fisher (baritone; Music Pastor at Faith Baptist Church in Taylors, SC, founder of Sacred Music Services), and John Skinner (bass; independent business owner in Hudson, NH).  These men have been singing together for over 20 years, and bring a warm and vibrant performance to every song they sing.  Their accompanist is Beth Lynch, wife of Mac.

Heritage for 2012

 In Acts 1:8, the Savior lays out the responsibility for both individual believers and churches. They need to impact their surrounding community while sending out individuals to reach out to the uttermost parts of the earth.

The focus of Heritage Baptist Church in the year 2012 is to endeavor to accomplish both of these tasks in a fashion that is pleasing to the Lord. Join us in this year-long focus and help reach the world with the saving message of Jesus Christ.

Introduction to Habakkuk

Adult Bible Study

Sunday, January 29, 9:30 A.M.
This lesson continues our series "Old Testament Survey"
and is titled "Introduction to Habakkuk":

"Habakkuk is quite unique in the approach taken by the
prophet to understand and communicate God’s message.
The poetic qualities of this book raise the level of
consciousness of God and His resplendent majesty.
The centrality of faith as the basis for receiving and
appreciating the plan of God becomes a thrice repeated
theme in the New Testament."

You are invited to attend our Sunday School and learn
about Habakkuk.
