At Salem, we are blessed with many opportunities to glorify God, make disciples who pursue Jesus, and share His story. We offer a summary of events as well as a full calendar below so you can always know what events are coming up next!

We also create a weekly newsletter highlighting events around Salem called The Sonlight. You can read it using the buttons below, or subscribe to the Sonlight email list to get it emailed to you each week.

Harvest Day is Sunday, October 24 and it’s just around the corner! Harvest Day is a time when our church celebrates the faithfulness of God and focuses on our vision for the future. Salem will be 181 years old!

This year will be different and very special. Our Pastor Search Committee is sponsoring a church-wide prayer walk. We will gather in the Multi-Purpose Room at 9:00 AM for instructions and a short worship time before beginning the walk.

We will then return to the Multi-Purpose Room at 10:30 am for a combined worship service, followed by a church-wide lunch. The lunch will be the same type of meal as served in the past, but will be served in individual containers instead of our traditional buffet line.

The lunch is free, but because we are preparing individual meals we would like to get an idea of how many people plan to attend. Please help us in planning by RSVP’ing at the link below:

GriefShare Group
The loss of a loved one or friend is one of the most difficult events we face in life. “Grief work” is hard, but it is easier when you are not left to do it alone. For information about GriefShare virtual and in-person groups visit www.griefshare.org.

Afghanistan Refugee Assistance
As a devoted body of Christ, we at Salem are called to love the foreigner, the refugee. We invite our members to love those in or from Afghanistan in the following ways:

Pray passionately over the Afghanistan refugee crisis. There is extraordinary power in prayer and we as God’s people should make it our priority. If you don’t have the time or resources to serve or give, you are still able to participate in the important ministry of prayer for these refugees.

Serve the refugees coming to the Triangle through World Relief Durham. World Relief needs people to volunteer their time and energy to help refugees resettle. Anyone interested in helping should check out the many opportunities listed on their volunteer page: worldrelief.org/durham/get-involved/volunteer

Give to help the Afghan refugees and those helping to resettle them here in Raleigh. The Raleigh Baptist Association has been asked to help the many Afghan families and translators that are being transitioned to Raleigh over the next few days and weeks. Checks can be written to Salem Baptist Church with “RBA – Refugee” as the memo.
