ASSOCIATIONS
Watauga Baptist Association recently held its 46th annual Music School at Grace Baptist Church in Elizabethton with an average of about 140 for the event which is held to assist churches in preparing for their Easter musicals. The singers and musicians learned the musical, “The Hope of the Cross.” The Music School was coordinated by Larry Adams, associational music director. The conductor was Debbie Gouge, choral director for Elizabethton High School. Laura Seagroves, music ministry coordinator for Grace Baptist, served as host.
Four members of Duck River Baptist Association recently took a vision trip to Mexico to explore a possible partnership. The team was led by Matt Ledbetter, director of missions who has been on approximately a dozen mission trips to Mexico. The Duck River team worked with Miguel Reyes and his family in the extreme southwestern end of Mexico near the Pacific Ocean. They preached in churches, in villages around Tonala, conducted a large family conference in Tonala Central Park and held a training event for pastors and church leaders. The team saw several decisions for Christ.
