We have an opportunity beginning today to make a special offering to the Bower-Conrad Offering for Association Missions. The Evangeline Baptist Association is our most local partnership with Baptist Churches. St. Clair Bower and Carl Conrad were two pioneers of missions in Acadiana. The offering is named for their dedication. We are now only two weeks away from the beginning of Vacation Bible School. We owe a big “thank you” to everyone who has already volunteered. We need everyone to now be fully engaged not only in praying, but also involved in inviting children. All church members can do us a big favor by registering your children in advance.
