Associational News

 A goal of $22,500 has been set for the 2008 offering for associational missions.  The offering will be promoted during the third week of May (May 18-25) which is designated on the Southern Baptist Convention's denominational calendar as Emphasis on Associational Missions Week.  The offering will be used to purchase and equip a trailer to be used for block parties and evangelistic events.  All monies received beyond the cost of the equipment will go into the association's fund for church planting.

Tommy Oglesby, pastor of South Jefferson Baptist Church, has accepted the position of  coordinator of evangelism for the association.  He has expressed the desire to meet with other pastors and any persons interested in evangelism to seek the mind of the Lord about how to reach the lost in our area. 

Other ministries still seeking leaders are those of prayer/spiritual awakening and ministerial support (an effort to promote fellowship among pastors and staff members).  If you know of anyone that you would recommend for either or both of these positions, please contact the DOM.
