PRAY. That’s the emphasis of the 2015 Alabama Baptist State Convention annual meeting and something convention speakers, entity leaders and messengers will focus on during the Nov. 17–18 event at Eastern Shore Baptist Church, Daphne.
The acrostic PRAY stands for: Pardon us for our sin; Renew a right spirit within us; Accept our adoration and praise; and Yoke us together in sacrifice and praise.
“We hope many Alabama Baptist churches will elect and send messengers to attend this year’s annual meeting,” said Rick Lance, executive director of the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions (SBOM).
Guest speaker Ronnie Floyd, Southern Baptist Convention president and pastor of Cross Church in northwest Arkansas, will share with messengers Nov. 17, 7:45 p.m. Contemporary classical vocal group Veritas will provide special music.
Veritas is “at home with the contemporary genre and the classical hymns as well,” Lance said.
“Each year the Tuesday evening session provides messengers and other guests the opportunity for worship and inspiration and this year will be no exception,” he said.
Three theme interpretation sermons will be presented at the annual meeting by Scott Guffin, pastor of Liberty Park Baptist Church, Vestavia Hills; Stuart Davidson, pastor of Eastern Shore Baptist; and Dale Huff, director of SBOM’s office of LeaderCare & church administration. Buddy Champion, pastor of First Baptist Church, Trussville, will provide the convention sermon Nov. 18.
Messenger pre-registration information is currently being mailed to churches.
