Monongahela Association Meeting
The 184TH Gathering of the Monongahela Baptist Association in the southwest corner of ABCOPAD was held on October 16. The theme for the association's meeting was The Bible, our only authority for what we believe and what we do. Different presentations were made by associational leaders, including Pam Hughes who is our region's ABWomen Coordinator for LoveGift.
Paula Sommerfeldt, the ABW coordinator for Missions spoke about the upcoming disaster relief Mission Trip to Connellsville in November. The message for the day was delivered by Pastor Chris McClaughlin of the Indian Creek Baptist Church in Mill Run.
Jeff did the installation of officers, based on another Baptist principle, "Every Member A Minister". Diane Dean, the association's moderator, closed out the gathering with an impassioned plea for greater participation and doing together what no one association church could do on its own, the very principle of associational life.
A time of good food and good fellowship followed the gathering.
