Terry's Thoughts August 2017
WOW, by the time you read this article the summer would have been two thirds of the way over! Isn’t it amazing how fast time flies by. The fact of the matter August is here whether we are prepared or not. With this fact in mind please allow me the opportunity to share what’s new within the association and what dates we need to remember. The following are a few of those opportunities:
1. Saturday August 5 – Our second annual WCBA Men’s Rally beginning at 4:00 P.M. This year we will of course enjoy great food, fellowship, music, worship, and a great speaker in Cameron McGill, pastor of FBC Dublin and current President of the BSCNC. We will feature the bluegrass band “New Creation” and a gospel quartet featuring one of our pastors Larry Godwin of Mt. Carmel Baptist. PLEASE VISIT THE WEBSITE (westchowan.org) TO REGISTER NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY AUGUST 2.
2. Saturday August 12 – 19 marks the dates of our annual Association Mission Trip with our partner Association in Upstate New York. We will be serving Open Door Baptist Church of Lee, MA. Currently we have 19 missionaries from our association going and we could use a few more if you are still interested. We have one last meeting on August 3 beginning at 7:00 P.M here at the MRC. The details and registration information are on our website. Please visit and register if interested in going.
3. Saturday August 26 beginning at 8:30 A.M. is the date of our annual Association WMU leadership Rally. That rally will meet here at the MRC. If you have not yet made plans to attend please consider joining the Association WMU Leadership Team as they train leaders from across our association. For more information call Barbara Marks at 252-532-5617 or Debbie Vinson at 252-398-7305.
4. Sunday October 15 - Marks the date for our 2017 Annual meeting. We will gather at Union Baptist Church of Ahoskie. Our afternoon session begins at 3:45 P.M., followed by dinner beginning at 5:30, and concluding with the evening session beginning at 6:30 P.M. We are looking forward to a great time of fellowship and worship. Please mark your calendars and make a point to be in attendance.
Of course there are many other great opportunities and new activities to serve the Lord, minister together, and fellowship with each other found in the pages of this newsletter. Please take advantage of these times of ministry and fellowship.
One additional thing I would like to ask of you to pray about. We are looking for a person to fulfill the position of Baptist Men’s Director for our association. Fortunately Ben Dempsey, of Center Grove Baptist Church, has agreed to serve as an interim Baptist Men’s Director, however we are very much in need of a person to serve as our permanent Baptist Men’s Director. This position is an important one as we seek to lead our associational Baptist Men’s ministry into the future. Please pray about this position and if the Lord leads you or someone you know to consider taking this position please call me for more information.
As always please know I love you, consider it an honor to serve you, and look forward to many more years of service together. Please take the time to look through this newsletter especially since there are a number of great opportunities for all of our churches.
