Greetings from the

Grace and peace to you from God Our Father!

Ours is a sweet fellowship! It is my sincere pleasure to welcome the 176th Annual Wood River Baptist District Association Incorporate session where the theme is “Transparency in Service!” I welcome each of you to this annual worship and learning opportunity.

I am honored that you have taken the time to join us this year. We always strive to promote a championship spirit hinging on team work.

During this week we will strive to be a place where you can bring both your heart and your mind to search for a deeper experience of God. Please welcome our Lecturer, the Rev. Ervin Millsaps, Pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church in Chicago, Illinois. Let us pray for him as he brings us the Word of God.

Throughout this session, I ask you to stay engaged and prayerful!

We are blessed with a gifted and caring staff, dedicated teachers, and a variety of support people that truly define us as an association!

Before I close, I would like to thank each of you for being here and bringing your prayers, expertise and love to this meeting.

And I pray that you find our time together inspiring, meaningful, challenging and perhaps even a little fun!

Thanks for coming!

To God be the Glory,

Reverend Joseph D. Williamson, III

Dr. Ervin R. Millsaps

Ervin R. Millsaps was licensed to preach the Gospel Ministry at his home

church, Smith Grove Baptist in Hiddenite, North Carolina on April 23, 1980. He

was ordained to the Gospel Ministry by the Yadkin Davie Baptist Association of

North Carolina on January 17, 1983.

Dr. Millsaps has been called to Pastor Old Town Baptist Church, in Galex, Vir-

ginia from 1982-1984; New Bethal Baptist Church, Morganton, North Carolina

from 1984-1988; New Hope Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina from

Dr. Millsaps recognizes that the greatest challenge to the church is to provide

viable and relevant ministry to a constantly changing and evolving community.

In response to this challenge, his Multi-Disciplinary Ministry emphasizes Bibli-

Dr. Millsaps has religious affiliations with the Congress of Christian Education,
