It’s Convocation Time!
Mainstream Baptist Convocation
in the Dallas area on
February 23-24, 2007
The Mainstream Baptist Network
(made up of organizations similar to TBC)
will be meeting with us for the first time in Texas!
We have planned a special program centered around the theme
of “Voices of Hope: Why I’m Still a Baptist.”
We will meet at the Marriott Hotel and Resort, DFW Airport,
8440 Freeport Parkway, Irving, TX.
Registration is $60 per person
(everyone has to register), which covers both Friday night’s banquet and
Saturday morning’s breakfast. The regular rate is $249, but we have a
block of rooms reserved for $99, which is a super price.
Please call the TBC
office today at 325-659-4102 to reserve your room by February 15th to get this special rate and register for the convocation.
