Pastor's Message

 

 Dear Friends, 
Welcome to the Shiloh Baptist Church website which celebrates the historic inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States. Much of the world joins us as we celebrate this truly momentous event.
 
A few weeks ago as we gathered in our sanctuary to watch the election returns we held a special worship and prayer service.  ABC News covered our gathering and reporters from the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) and the Manchester Guardian took interviews.  We are delighted that in partnership with ABC News, Shiloh is one of the venues to watch the swearing in of our next president, as well as the parade and other exciting events    Read More...
 
    

Youth Inaugural Ball

The Youth Inaugural Ball promises to be an evening of family elegance that will include a variety of food and beverages, family fun, live entertainment, souvenir photographs, special guest appearances, and much more. You are invited to attend and/or join us as a sponsor for this once-in-a-lifetime celebration where we expect 300 youth are expected to be in attendance. 

 

Ticket price is $50 per person, and sponsorships range from $100 to $5,000.  Your sponsorship support of this event will allow us to extend invitations to underprivileged youth.

 

This Inaugural Ball is the first that Shiloh has held especially for youth. At this important moment in history, it gives them a chance to join our nation in honoring our new President’s example of courage and perseverance in the face of constant challenge.  From his mother’s 4AM studying sessions during grade school, to his numerous examples of discipline, hard work and sacrifice, President-elect Obama is an inspiration to young and old alike. This is an exciting time, and we’ve planned an exciting event.

 

Thank you to all who helped make this event a success.

Please attend the adult ball: "Yes We Can" on Tuesday June 20, 2009
