Ohio Ministry Assistants Hold Their First Annual Conference
 

Ministry Assistants from 16 churches gathered at Highland Baptist Church to attend the first annual Ohio Ministry Assistants Conference. Using the theme Growing Into An Exceptional Ministry Assistant, Mrs. Donna Gandy from LifeWay Christian Resources trained and encouraged Ohio’s Ministry Assistants to “optimize their God-given gifts in ministry service.”

 

OMA Chaplain Norma McMurray, encouraged attendees to be like Aaron and Hur in her devotion time, opened the morning session with prayer. Participants enjoyed a catered lunch from Flyer’s Pizza, door prizes, goody bags and the warm hospitality of the Highland Baptist Women’s Ministry and administrative staff.

 

Following three informative teaching sessions, OMA members held their first annual meeting. Officers elected for 2011-2012 are President Lisa Townsend, Vice President Valerie Markley, Secretary Karen York, Treasurer Cheryl Sellers, and Publicity & Events Coordinator Darlys Bullock.

 

Ohio Ministry Assistants is open to any Southern Baptist administrative personnel in Ohio – paid, volunteer or retired. An application form and further information is available from any OMA officer, on Facebook or at our OMA blog, http://ohioministryassistants.wordpress.com/.
