I would like to invite the members of all of the churches in our association to join us for a corporate worship gathering on March 9, 2025 hosted by Dr. Jeff Gravens and First Baptist Church of Sulphur Springs. The RBA Ministry has worked hard to plan out an evening that will be both encouraging and impactful. We have trimmed down as much excess as possible to keep the evening from dragging on as these events sometimes can. Brady Fisher at FBC, Sulphur Springs has done a tremendous job in selecting music and media that will set the tone for the evening. And you will be blessed to hear Mack Stiles deliver a solid charge from God’s Word encouraging you to embrace the gospel personally and to share it with others for the glory of God. As I wrote in the latest edition of the RBA newsletter, "Our churches need to continually be encouraged with the gospel because our communities desperately need the gospel.” Please make plans to join us!

On the first Monday of every month, the pastors of the association gather for fellowship over lunch and prayer. For the month of March, we will move our lunch to the second Monday. Mack Stiles will be our special guest that day. Drawing upon his years of experience in intercultural ministry, he will speak to us about the need for healthy, church-centered missions. He will share about the work that he and Leeann are doing in Kurdistan and Dubai and the work they've done for missions with "The Great Commission Council.” He will have information about these projects available for anyone who is interested. Normally we all bring our own lunch to these gatherings. This time lunch will be provided for you.
