Because generous Central Region Baptists have given money to establish a fund to help one another attend the 2013 Mission Summit/Biennial, ABC/CR churches can apply for a grant to cover 75% of the All-Church Registration Fee. These grants will be awarded as long as the money is available, so don't hesitate to send in your application. Click this Biennial Assistance Grant link to download the application form. To view the All-Church Registration Fee Schedule, click here.
If your church choir would like to sing with Kansas City based composer Mark Hayes who will direct his beloved anthem "To Love Our God" at the Biennial on Sunday night, June 23, download details and a sign-up sheet here, Mass Choir.
This
is an exciting time for Central Region Baptists as we invite American Baptist
sisters and brothers from across the country to gather "in our back yard"
and share the joy of worshiping, learning and growing together.
