Although Summer has phased into Autumn God continues to bless the NAB Churches of the Eastern Association from season to season. In the months of 2009 we have witnessed the joyous and fruitful ministry of three new Pastor Families in the Eastern Association: Rev. Aaron & Debbie LeGrow (Josh, Jonathan, Jordan) at Lakeshore Baptist Church in St. Catharines, ON; Rev. Jeff & Debbie Miller (Ashley, Josh, Nate, Rachel) at Holiday Park Baptist Church in Pittsburgh, PA; Rev. Lee & Anna Dyck (Nathan, Corina, Emma) at First Baptist Church in Arnprior, ON.
We have witnessed the purchase of a really fine church building at 6827 rue Saint-Andre, Montreal, Quebec H2S 2L1 by The Potter's House Christian Church under the excellent leadership of Rev. Edgar & Sandra (Nancy & Jeremy) Valenzueala with the assistance of the CEIF (Church Extension Investors Fund) plus a $100,000 gift mortgage from the Eastern Association of NAB Churches. This was definitely a team effort involving a host of Eastern Association Leaders as well as The Potter's House leaders and congregation. Regional Minister Dave & Jean Ewing will be celebrating with The Potter's House September 25-26, 2009.
The July 15-19, 2009 NAB Triennial Conference held in Winnipeg, MB, was a genuine highlight for more than a thousand people who attended. Dr. Rob (Dawn & Kaylie) McCleland was installed by official election as the Executive Director of the North American Baptist Conference. Through these past months various key leaders in the NAB International Office in Oakbrook Terrace, IL were installed: Tony Dunaway, Norm Poehlke, Ron Norman and Janet Kunz. The two key initiative of the North American Baptist Conference are: Leadership Development and Church Multiplication under the byline of "The Best Cared for Missionaries."
Lakeshore Baptist Church in St. Catharines, ON celebrated their 40th Anniversary on Sunday, September 13, 2009 with Rev. Aaron & Debbie LeGrow and the Lakeshore Leadership Team. Dr. Rob McCleland was able to attend and bring the key note messages both for the morning service and the afternoon celebration where one MPP, one MP and the St. Catharines' Mayor gave congratulatory greetings. First Baptist Church of Arnprior, ON will be celebrating their 140th Anniversary on Saturday, October 3, 2009 with Rev. Lee & Anna Dyck and the First Baptist Leadership Team.
