September MOBBF Meeting

The September meeting of the Missouri BBF was held on September 14 at Marshall Baptist Temple in Marshall, MO. On the drive up, we obtained photographic evidence that Pastor Mark Rounsaville (Baptist Temple in Springfield) can indeed multi-task. And this wasn't even his church's van!

Pastor Claude Fields and the church were great hosts, for what Pastor Fields announced was officially the "Bob meeting." Encouraging messages were brought by Pastors Bob Sharp (Crane), Bob Stephenson (Springfield), and Bob Baker (Buffalo).

Music was provided by Pastor Eric Campbell (Walnut Grove) and some of his family and church members. A good time of fellowship was had by those attending.

At the business meeting, Pastor Charlie Bell of West Division Street Baptist Church in Springfield was elected as the new MOBBF State Chairman. This left the position of Vice-Chairman open, and Pastor Eddie Lyons of High Street Baptist Church in Springfield was nominated and elected to that position. The terms of all officers run until the end of 2011.

Being Baptists, it was necessary to conclude the afternoon by sitting down for a good meal, ably prepared by members of Marshall Baptist Temple. We thank Marshall Baptist Temple for being such great hosts.
