ABOUT TODAY’S WORSHIPToday’s sanctuary flowers are given in honor of the entire congregation at our wonderful church, Hayes Barton

Baptist, on the occasion of its 90th anniversary by the Noah’s Ark Sunday School Class.This morning as we observe the Lord’s Supper, we would like all believers to be able to participate; therefore, we

offer gluten free wafers in individually wrapped packages for those with dietary restrictions. Following worship and communion, we will be collecting a special offering for Hurricane Matthew Relief as you leave the Sanctuary.

Following this morning’s service, you are invited to join us for a luncheon reception in the Family Life Center. At approximately 1:30 PM, we will be led in procession by a bagpiper to the Memorial Garden for a dedication service.

WELCOME VISITORSWe are honored by your presence this morning. Please record your attendance on the Friendship Pad when it is

passed to you. Guests are encouraged to provide complete information for further contact. We also encourage all visitors to stop by the Visitor Welcome area in the Narthex immediately following the worship service.

ENTER TO WORSHIPThis is a holy hour. We invite you to enter this sanctuary with joy and reverence. We invite members and visitors

to be seated near the front of the sanctuary to enhance our sense of community in worship. When you have taken your seat, spend a few moments in quiet reflection as you prepare your heart for worship. If the service has already begun, please enter quietly by one of the side aisles. Please remember to turn off all cell phones.

RESOURCES FOR HEARING IMPAIRMENTHearing assistance devices are available for those who have such need. Please see an usher for more information.

*a litany of heritage and hoPe With benediCtion Kristen Muse Minister: Eternal God, who is and who was and who is to come, we have assembled in Your

house on this Lord’s Day and Anniversary Sunday to hallow Your name and to declare Your glory among all the peoples of the earth.

People: We praise You, O God. Minister: Long ago our fathers and mothers were led in their spiritual pilgrimage by Your

guiding hand, and were comforted in the knowledge that even when they walked in the valley of the shadow of death, they were not alone, for You were with them. Continue to direct the paths of Your people today, and be to us now as You were then, a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.

People: Guide us, O Lord, and lead us in the way everlasting. Minister: We acknowledge the great cloud of witnesses that surrounds this congregation, and

we confess our great debt to those who founded Hayes Barton Baptist Church ninety years ago, and we pray that the spirit that kindled within their souls will ignite and burn within us not only today, but in all the days and years to come.

People: Setoursoulsafire,OSpiritofthelivingGod. Minister: For every precious memory revived in this hour of celebration, for each

remembrance of extraordinary faith, courageous hope, and sacrificial love, we give You thanks, and we pray that our children and our children’s children will not be robbed of this glorious spiritual heritage because of our indifference or infidelity.

People: O Lord, make us faithful. Minister: Remind us of the firm foundation upon which we stand, even Jesus Christ our Lord,

and save us from cowardly surrender to the world, from rendering unto Caesar that which belongs only to You, from confusing that which is temporal for that which is eternal, from following the broad way that leads to destruction rather than the narrow way that leads to life.

People: Good Lord, deliver us and lead us in the paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake.

Minister: Awaken in us a true spirit of compassion. Enlarge our sympathies and increase our magnanimity. Rescue us from narrow-mindedness and remove from among us the walls that divide us. Empower us not only to love our neighbor as ourselves, but also to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us.

People: Lord, have mercy on us and grant us these blessings. Minister: Lord, make our church worthy of Christ. People: Lord, send us on mission for Christ. All: Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,

according to the power that works in us, unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and

perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken His seat at the right hand of the

throne of God.

An Abridged History of Hayes Barton Baptist ChurchIn the early 1920s, Raleigh was growing. The streetcar tracks came down Glenwood and went all the way to

Bloomsbury Park, and lots were being sold in the area called “Hayes Barton.” The 1922-23 City Directory showed the street names Aycock, Vance and Cowper, but only one house on Aycock. It was in 1922 that the Baptist City Council of Raleigh, forerunner of the Raleigh Baptist Association, purchased a site for a new Baptist Church between Whitaker Mill and White Oak roads at Glenwood Avenue, in anticipation of the city’s growth in a northerly direction.

By 1926, there were a number of houses in the area, and in the fall of that year a number of meetings were held in the neighborhood for the purpose of organizing a Baptist Church. Officers were named, and yes, being Baptists, committees were appointed.

On Sunday, November 7, 1926, at 2:30 p.m. in the North Vanguard Presbyterian Church (now Westminster Presbyterian Church) on Whitaker Mill Road, Hayes Barton Baptist Church was organized. Quoting from Luther Hughes’ history of the church:

“After brief preliminaries, the names of those with their letters were read and a motion to organize a Baptist Church was made. The motion was carried unanimously…

“A motion to name the new organization the Hayes Barton Baptist Church also carried unanimously…

“In response to an invitation extended to those desiring to unite with the new church by profession of faith, 4 others … were received for baptism….

“It was agreed that all members received into the church by January 1, 1927, would be considered charter members…”

When that day came, 173 charter members had been enrolled. Men of the church and friends built the first temporary structure. They called it “The Tabernacle.” The first service was held there on Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1926. Late in 1927, the little wooden structure was torn down, and work began on a beautiful cream-colored brick structure of classical architecture which included classroom, kitchen and office space as well as a sanctuary which would seat 850.

The 1940s were a period of growth for Hayes Barton Baptist Church, not only in church staff and church programs, but also in acquisition of additional property. Hayes Barton had its first missionaries in 1946, and in December 1950, Hayes Barton sponsored a “Living Nativity,” the first such project in Raleigh and perhaps in North Carolina. Over 100,000 people viewed it. The “Living Nativity” continues to be a part of the Christmas traditions at Hayes Barton Baptist Church.

Space limitations on the growing church necessitated expansion, and the Educational Building, which included a chapel that seated 140, was completed in 1953. Major renovations on the older sanctuary were made in 1956.

On September 5, 1962, ten months after the church observed its thirty-fifth anniversary, the sanctuary and entire portion of the church which had been built in 1928 were destroyed by fire. The Educational Building suffered extensive smoke and water damage. That night, in a special called session, the Deacons voted to rebuild, as did the church congregation at its Sunday Worship Service at the Colony Theater, now the Rialto.

Although there were major delays in the rebuilding program, ground was broken for the new building on January 3, 1965. The church membership entered the Education Building facilities on August 28, 1966, and the first service of worship was held in the new sanctuary, Colonial Georgian in style, on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 1966, exactly 40 years after that first service in the little wooden “Tabernacle.”

Hayes Barton Baptist Church does, indeed, have a rich history to recall. On November 4, 2001, the church began a month-long celebration of its 75 years of ministry and service, highlighted by a joyous day of worship and fellowship on November 4. Not only does Hayes Barton Baptist Church have a rich and wonderful history to cherish, but it also has a marvelous and challenging future to embrace as it continues to encourage and equip its members and friends to experience and share a warm and vital faith in Jesus Christ through various programs and ministries.

Shortly after the turn of the century our church once again embarked on a building program. After years of planning, in September 2007 the Cashwell Corridor, named in memory of long-time beloved pastor Dr. T. L. Cashwell, Jr., opened to provide barrier-free access to the sanctuary. Later that year, on November 4, the Family Life Center was dedicated. The facility, joined by a ramped hallway to the Education Building, provides space for education, worship, fellowship, and recreation. Through new facilities and growing programs and mission opportunities, Hayes Barton Baptist Church continues to work to embody its theme statement: Timeless values for a changing world: Faith, Hope, Love.

AnnouncementsSPECIAL VOTE ON AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUTION: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2016

A business meeting will be held at the conclusion of worship on Sunday, November 20, 2016. The purpose of this meeting will be to vote on a recommendation from the Diaconate to amend our Church Constitution. The amendment pertains to membership requirements. Currently, our church requires all members to be baptized by immersion. The amendment would not require re-baptism for new members who have already been baptized by a Christian church, even if the mode of baptism was other than immersion. Baptism by immersion will continue to be our practice for new members who have not been baptized. This recommendation was presented to the congregation in our Annual Business Meeting on Wednesday, September 21, 2016. Opportunity for discussion was given at that time. Additional opportunity for discussion will be given in the Business Meeting on Wednesday, November 16, at 6:15pm. The vote on November 20 will be by secret ballot. No opportunity for discussion will be given at that time. Absentee ballots will be made available according to the following schedule:• Sunday, November 13 (office reception area): Before and during Sunday school, before and after

worship.• Monday-Friday, November 14-18: During office hours (ask for Christine Moore)• Wednesday, November 16 (office reception area): Before, during and after services.• Sunday, November 20 (office reception area): Before, during and after Sunday school.

HURRICANE RELIEF: EURLEY FAMILYMany families across our state are dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew. The Eurley family

lives in a Hurricane Matthew water-damaged travel trailer. As a result of the water-damage, their trailer has mold, mildew, and rotting floors where the three children and parents sleep and live. Hayes Barton Baptist Church can have a meaningful impact in this family’s life with the purchase of a new travel trailer in which the Eurley’s can safely live. Pray that our congregation will give generously to assist this lovely family. May they know God’s unconditional love and provision in the midst of these difficult circumstances because of our faithfulness to respond to Jesus’ call to love our neighbor.

You can give by designating your gift “Hurricane Matthew Relief.” Give in person, or online at www.hbbc.org/give.
