HAPPY NEW YEAR!

SBaker — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 17:19:58 +0000

On behalf of the Tri-state Independent Baptist Preachers Fellowship let me wish each and everyone a happy new year. It is our prayer that this year will be blessed of God for each and everyone and the ministries they represent.

We had a great time at our meeting in December. We appreciate Pastor Ricky Gravly and the good folks at Bible Baptist Church for hosting the meeting and serving a fine meal. Bro. Steve Goolsby preached an inspiring message from Acts 4 on “What It Means to be with Jesus”. Pastor Clyde Painter challenged everyone with a message from Matthew 27 “Learning the Bear the Cross”. We thank God for these two good men and these fine messages.

Our first meeting for the new year is scheduled for Thursday, January 12, 10 a.m. at the Fellowship Baptist Church in East Ridge where Bro. Chris Peponis is pastor. Our scheduled preachers for the day are Bro. Kevin Norton of Mountain View Baptist Church and Bro. Randy Lynn, our moderator for the past two years and pastor of Moriah Baptist Church. I trust you will be able to attend.

God bless you.

Bro. Dale Kidd

Dear Preacher

The November Preachers Fellowship at Elizabeth Terrace Baptist Church was a great encouragement. The preachers brought two great messages; Bro. Ricky Gravely brought the first message from Luke 14:1-6 on the subject of “Hard Places”. Bro. Jack Reiss brought the second message on “Ittai”; his text was 2 Sam. 15. We want to thank Pastor George Pinion and all the Elizabeth Terrace Baptist family for their hospitality and for providing the delicious meal for all the preachers during the fellowship.

Please continue to pray for the Morgan and Pinion families during this their time of grief.

Our next meeting will be 10:00 a.m. Thursday, December 1^st 2011 @ Bible Baptist Church located in Rossville, GA where Bro. Ricky Gravely is the host Pastor. Our preachers for the month of December are Bro. Steve Goolsby member of Bible Baptist Church and Bro. Clyde Painter the Pastor of Lakeside Baptist Church.

The new officers for 2012 were chosen by the fellowship during the November meeting. They are Moderator Bro. Tim McCulley, Vice Moderator Bro. Mark Brandon and Secretary/Treasurer Bro. Dale Kidd. Please be praying for these leaders as they make decisions for the fellowship. Again I would like to thank you for allowing me to minister as secretary for the past five years; it has been a great blessing in my life to work with all of you.

I am sure Pastor Gravley and the Bible Baptist Church family has a big day planned for the fellowship. Please attend and as always pray for the meeting and bring another preacher with you. God bless.
