REUNION 2016 REVIEW

Reunion 2016 is more than a memory! Held at Liberty Baptist Church, students from all over ABCOPAD gathered for a weekend of fellowship, inspiration, and fun. There were wild games, music from Museum, challenging messages from Dave Klock, not to mention lots of pizza! There were great times of laughter and shenanigans. And there were exceptional times of worship, discovery, and commitment. You can check out ALL the photos HERE

Pastor Karen Selig, at Royersford Baptist Church, explained to children how Dr. Reid Trulson and others took their Christmas Tree and made it into a cross. An excellent way of taking the message of Christmas and leading to Easter!

There's No Business Like Snow Business

 

Check out these photos from the most recent family night at Wesleyville Baptist Church. These pictures were from its "There's No Business Like Snow Business" Family Night on January 27th. The night began with a delicious chicken and biscuit dinner.

 Attendees were able to visit the Photo Booth... 

 

  

 

 

Then there was the 'snowball' fight with socks! 92 pair of socks were then donated to God's Closet (our clothing pantry ministry)...

 

 

Following these activities, small groups were available for all ages, Nursery through Adult.

Family Nights are typically held the 2nd and 4th Wednesday nights each month. Rev. Mark McCallion is Pastor
