Powell River Mission Trip Postponed
We wanted to touch base with our churches about the Powell River Mission Trip. At this time, we are going to postpone the trip that was scheduled for March 2010 until hopefully Fall 2010.
Please keep making ditty bags, knitting scarves, collecting books for BookNet and money to fill the ditty bags.
We appreciate so much your support of this mission trip and as soon as we have more information to pass along we will send it to you.
If you have any questions, please call Debra Burgess at 345-6340 or Pat Dillon at 562-1118.

2011 SENIOR ADULT EMPHASIS
Each year the Roanoke Valley Baptist Association provides at least one major evangelistic/ministry emphasis (event, conference, etc.) for our area. We have sponsored various age-group emphases (children, youth, young adults, median adults and senior adults) as well as reaching other people-groups (ethnic, social, etc.). Prayer and seeking the Lord’s leadership has been and continues to be a vital part of this process.
The RVBA Evangelism Committee will emphasize reaching senior adults in 2011. The last time we had such an emphasis upon senior adults was 2006. We are excited about the possibilities and looking forward to what the Lord will do.
