Welcome, Pastor Kevin!

 

It was a great day as Rev. Dr. Kevin Roberts was installed as pastor of the Jefferson Baptist Church. Pastor Cristy Wise brought the sermon and charge; then Pastor Mark Mahserjian-Smith welcomed him to ABCOPAD, presenting him with a shepherd's staff. It was a special time to be together. Following the service a light lunch was prepared for people to visit on this special occasion. There was a great spirit among those gathered, and God is already on the move under Pastor Kevin’s leadership.

Come and Get It!

 

Calvary Baptist Church of Allentown (Rev. Melvin Thomas) held a community Food Truck event in their parking lot. There was a great turn out and connections were made with a lot of folk in the community. Members brought their friends, families and neighbors. This was such a great idea for outreach in their neighborhood and plans are already underway to do this event next year with even more vendors.

Pool Party

Susan and Mark Mahserjian-Smith recently hosted the annual Love Unlimited Church Picnic held at their home. It was a blessing having a relaxing afternoon enjoying good food and even better fellowship. So grateful for these brothers and sisters in Christ and a chance to share a meal together.

Mr. Moderator

 

Leaders from the Abington Association gathered over lunch to plan events for the coming year. There was also discussion about officers for the association for the coming year. On the right side of the picture, you will see Mario, BJ Richards' (UBC Taylor) grandson, going into kindergarten this year. He volunteered to be the moderator of the association if needed. Thank you, Mario!!!

Men @ Prayer

 

The Ten Mile Association Men’s Prayer Breakfast is held the first Saturday of each month Most recently, Bethlehem Baptist Church hosted the event. Pastor Mark Mahserjian-Smith shared a passage out of Joshua 1 for devotions. It's been a great time to lift up prayer request and praises ... and a great opportunity for Christian brothers to catch up and be challenged to be the courageous men for God!
