Upcoming Regional Gatherings
Southern Regional Association
Thursday, September 23, 10:00 a.m. - Noon First Baptist Church, Brooklyn, MI A free lunch follows the meeting Our Topic: "Don't Waste Your Cancer" Earlier this summer, Ron Kenney, Pastor of Fellowship Baptist Church in Battle Creek, was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer. Since then, Ron has been fighting the disease with an aggressive treatment regiment while continuing to minister to his family, his congregation, and his audience on YouTube. Ron has graciously agreed to address our upcoming pastor's gathering. He will talk about his diagnosis, his experience with chemo, Scripture texts that have been particularly meaningful to him through this journey, and the other ways he has leveraged his cancer diagnoses for personal growth and gospel ministry. Also on the agenda: a time of prayer and the election of officers to serve the SMARBC for the 2021-2022 term. |

Fall Event Information As a regional council we strive to provide quarterly pastor's meetings that provide both an opportunity for you to fellowship with other pastors in our region, as well as provide content that will be encouraging and helpful for you and your ministry. In lieu of hosting a regional meeting this fall we have decided rather to recommend two events that are already happening in our region/state that we believe will be encouraging and helpful for you. We encourage you to attend the MARBC Annual Conference, October 11-12, Forest Hills Baptist Church, Grand Rapids, MI. Information is posted on the conference page of the MARBC website.
