The following is an excerpt from a newsletter sent out by Terry Dorsett, DOM for the Green Mountain Baptist Association (Vermont), part of the New England Baptist Convention.
"I had the honor of speaking at Concord Community Church this past Sunday. They do not currently have a pastor; yet seem to be moving forward as a church. Several new families were present since I was with them six weeks ago. They are voting on calling a youth pastor while they continue their search for a pastor. Pray for them as they move through this process.
The highlight of the past few days was the annual meeting of the association. Over 70 people from 20 churches gathered to sing, praise the Lord, share testimonies and hear reports of what God has been doing this past year. They also elected two new officers, passed the largest budget in the history of the association (with only a fairly small projected deficit!) and adopted a new strategy plan that will guide us through 2010. It is always good to see our co-laborers at annual meeting time and we enjoy being together as missionaries and pastors. Pray for the association as we seek to ignite spiritual passion across our state, engage our culture with the Gospel and raise up visionary leaders for a new generation."
Give thanks for those who serve the Lord in difficult places such as Vermont, probably the least-churched area in the USA. It is always good to hear reports from these areas. You may read more about the work in Vermont on the website:
