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
Moderator, Wood River District Association

was ordained to the Gospel Ministry by the Yadkin Davie Baptist Association of
North Carolina on January 17, 1983.
