An Invitation…
I invite you to attend this year’s ABCNW Biennial Celebration, May 18-19, at First Baptist Church Chehalis, WA. This gathering is designed to be heavy on worship, encouragement, training and growing our connection together. Our theme is “Friends Together Extending Life. “ This theme is centered on a passion that our speaker, Dr. Lee Spitzer, has for pursuing friendships as a means for building community, sharing the Good News, forming disciples and pursuing spiritual growth. We also have important business to consider, namely, adopting new Bylaws & Standing Rules for our Region.
Please take a few moments to prayerfully consider bringing a team of friends from your church to this year’s gathering. Let’s celebrate the friendships and mission that we have together in Jesus Christ. May we worship our awesome God and give glory to His name and His Gospel. May our time together renew our efforts in extending life to those who have not yet found life eternal. Check out the Biennial Celebration brochure arriving in your mailbox this week; or download it here off of our website.
In Christ,
Charles Revis
Executive Minister

The ABC of the Northwest celebration convenes in just a few short weeks. We’re praying that God will bless the worship, training, fellowship and good reports with His presence and power. Every church is encouraged to send a team of people to join in with the vision of “growing healthy, mission-focused churches that multiply disciples and churches.”
The Region Board is proposing a new set of Bylaws and Standing Rules to replace the present Bylaws and Rules for Procedure. Copies of all these documents have been sent to every church in the Region. They are also available for review on our web site in the Document Library section, along with an explanatory letter from our executive minister, Dr. Charles Revis. The proposed Bylaws and Standing Rules will be introduced and voted upon during the business session at the forthcoming Biennial Celebration in Chehalis, WA.
