ST. CHARLES – Several events are scheduled to take place in St. Charles in conjunction with the Missouri Baptist Convention (MBC) annual meeting this October. These MBC associated events include the Bi-Vocational Pastors & Wives Dinner (see separate story here) and the Apologetics Network Discussion (see separate story here), as well as the Missouri Baptist Pastors’ Conference (see separate story here).
Prior to the annual meeting, the MBC is also inviting every Missouri Baptist church to gather in their own communities on Saturday, Oct. 24, for One Great Day of Evangelism. This One Great Day event is inspired by the Southern Baptist Convention’s Crossover, which occurs on the Saturday before the SBC Annual Meeting. But, in Missouri, churches from around the state are encouraged to host intentional outreach opportunities in their own communities, even as the churches in the St. Charles area do so prior to the MBC Annual Meeting. To learn more and to find out how the MBC can assist in evangelism efforts for One Great Day, visit https://mobaptist.org/one-great-day-of-evangelism. (Read more from The Pathway here.)
