We are looking forward to the 97th Annual Messenger Assembly of the American Baptist Association, which will be held in Spokane, Washington June 19 - 22. Additional funds are needed for the Expense of Meeting. Each year we are faced with rising A/V and food costs, and this year is no exception. We are also now required to pay for these charges in advance of the meeting. Please prayerfully consider increasing your offerings to help with these ever-increasing expenses.
If you have not done so, please book your room now. As always, we must meet our room block for the rent of the meeting space to be covered. Information concerning room reservations and exhibits is now available. All meetings and meal functions will be held in the Spokane Convention Center. Our rooms are secured at The Davenport Grand Hotel. This is a beautiful property and all rooms have either one King bed or two King beds.
Many very important items of business will be considered at this years meeting, including electing a new Secretary/Treasurer of Missions. We also will be electing a new President and other officers. Our officers are elected annually at the messenger assembly, so it's very important that all messengers are represented in Spokane.
Spokane is located in one of the most beautiful regions of the United States. There are many restaurants in the downtown area that will appeal to all tastes and budgets.
Please plan to join us in June for a wonderful time of worship and fellowship. If you have any difficulty booking your room or submitting your exhibit application, feel free to call, text, or email. I'm available to help in any way. I look forward to seeing you soon in Spokane!!
