First Baptist Church of Bull Shoals Celebrates

Jerry and Martha Backus have served First Baptist of Bull Shoals for 30 years, and the church celebrated that event on September 20th at the Bel Arco Resort.  Members of the Bull Shoals community celebrated along with the church.  We are thankful for such a ministering couple serving among us here in White River Baptist Association.  We are thankful for all those who have been saved and have grown over these years as a product of their ministry from 1979 to 2009.  May God give them many more years of service to our Lord!

Another item of celebration is the addition recently added to the worship center of FBC Bull Shoals. 

They were using their fellowship hall for overflow space along with a camera and closed circuit television to accomodate their attendance.

 

Pardon this picture, but I just had to have my photo taken with my friend and colleague, Bro. Jerry Backus. It is hard to get either of us to smile.  By the way, Jerry cleans up pretty good!

White River Office Remodeling Progress

Here are some photos of the remodeled office of White River Baptist Association.

The 18 feet addition has provided a new office for the associational secretary, a larger workroom, and much needed storage.
