New sister here from PA

[aneta]

Hello everyone. I am so glad I found this board, by accident, really. I guess I am embarassed to say that being raised Baptist I have never heard of covering Baptists.
I was raised Baptist in communist Poland. In my town there were only two families that were different, meaning non-Catholic. It was hard. But now I am here (since 1992) and blessed with a godly husband and three little girls (5, 3, 17mo) and a new baby due Sept. We homeschool and we love it. We left our nondenominational church last summer as it started to compromise and allow wordly things. We were the only family that practiced modesty and covered. We could not stay there. For now my husband leads us in worship at home and prays about starting a house church. I started covering last summer and I feel VERY alone doing it. Although we live in an area surrounded by Mennonites I have no one around to fellowship with. This is what I hope to remedy here on this board.
Thank you for reading and may the Lord bless you!!!

Welcome Aneta.

I am Michelle and I'm guessing that I'm in the opposite side of PA from you. I'm in southwestern.

Thank you all for your warm replies.

Michelle, where in southwestern PA do you live? We are in Mercersburg, it's very close to Hagerstown, MD.

Dearr sister Aneta,

Welcome! Ben and I started this site and called it ''Head covering Baptist'' (There was no such thing as a Head covering Baptist Church)... many years ago. We were from a Baptist back ground and we started covering and there were no Baptist churches or Baptist we could find that covered. So we started this Baptist Head covering Discussion group to find Baptist back ground, covering Christians.

Over the years many Baptist have started to cover and dress modest, most have to leave the Baptist and find themselves in search of a church home.

As a Baptist preachers wife once told my friend '' Baptist do not take kindly to the covering.'' So true!

You will find many sweet christian brethren across America who do not have a church home and are searching for like minded Christians to fellowship with.

I will keep you in prayer dear sister. Please keep us in prayer as well.

I hope this site is a blessing and encouragement to you.

Love, ~ sister Darlene ~
