We just got back from a great week at the 74th Annual National Association of Free Will Baptists Convention in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.Our theme for the week was "Who will go?", taken from Isaiah 6:1-8.
The week was filled with great preaching, all from these verses. On Sunday, Bro. Bert Tippett spoke about "The Crisis We Must Face" and Bro. Jeff Blair spoke about "The Concept We Must Grasp." Then, on Monday, Bro. Charles Murphy spoke about "The Condition We Must Correct". Tuesday, Bro. Karl Sexton preached about "The Call We Must Consider" and on Wednesday, Bro. Stan Bunch preached about "The Commitment We Must Make."
We also had many children and teenagers from our church, association and state competing in the National Youth Conference.
Competitors from our church were: Caleb Patton, Landon Camp, Joe Paul Hopper, Brandon Moore, Joseph Summerlin, Jacob Summerlin, and Katie Milligan.
Caleb Patton won the National Championship title in Truth Quest, a Bible competition based on the game show Jeopardy.
Landon Camp, Joe Paul Hopper and Brandon Moore represented our state in the Bible Millionaire competition (based on the game show Who Wants to be a Millionaire).
Joseph Summerlin competed in the 7th - 9th grade Keyboarding competition. He placed third.
Jacob Summerlin won the National title in the Pitched Percussion competition and placed second in Keyboarding.
Katie Milligan competed in the Senior High painting competition.
We also had two students from our church attend Truth & Peace, a leadership conference for 9th - 12th grade students. Our T&P attendees were Jeremy Moore and Joseph Summerlin. It was Jeremy's third year at T&P and Joseph's first year to attend.
Our youth all did a great job! We are so proud of them for dedicating their time to learning and competing for the glory of the Lord!
