Let Us Know What You Think
I hope you have had a chance to visit the new BaptistTrumpet.com. We are excited to be able to bring this resource to you. Our mission to inform and inspire now goes beyond just the print and digital versions of the Trumpet. There is so much available to you at the new website. (See the article in the March 9 issue.) Please go check it out and then take a few minutes to let us know what you think — is there something that you really liked, something that could be improved or maybe something that doesn’t appear to be working correctly. Email me at editor@baptisttrumpet.com or give us a call at the office, (501) 565-4601.
Northeast Arkansas Deliveries
One ongoing problem we have been battling for many years is late delivery of the Trumpet to those in the Northeast part of the state. This is a problem that we are told traces back to the closure of a USPS hub in Jonesboro. Last fall, we met with a USPS representative that shared some exciting news. She said they were making plans to reopen the hub in Jonesboro in order to better serve the Northeast area. The hope is this will streamline the delivery of mail (including the Trumpet) because mail could be handled more locally rather than going to the Memphis hub to be sorted and then back to be delivered.
If you are having problems receiving your Trumpet and you are in the Northeast portion of the state, please let us know. Until this is working more efficiently, we would love to offer you a free digital subscription so you can receive the weekly issue in your email on Tuesday afternoon at 5:30 p.m. when it goes out to the printer. Simply email Associate Editor Allan Eakin (associateeditor@baptisttrumpet.com) or me (editor@baptisttrumpet.com) and let us know the details. You can also give us a call at the office, (501) 565-4601.
Special Emphasis Update
We are a few weeks into our time of Special Emphasis for the year. Our goal of $45,000 is not just an arbitrary number, but it is what we must have to move this ministry forward and carry out our mission to inform and inspire our readers. We are making every effort to be efficient in our operations, while at the same time making plans for the future ministry of the Baptist Trumpet.
Will you commit during this time to set aside April 24 (or another day of your choosing) as Baptist Trumpet Day? We would ask you on this day to primarily commit to pray for this ministry as we seek God’s direction and guidance and, if possible, take up a special offering to help us meet our goal.
I am so thankful for those that have already given. Thank you for helping us. Find more resources and updates by visiting BaptistTrumpet.com/SE2022.
