Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ:
As Paul wrote to those in Rome, Romans 1:11–12, “I long to see you again… The time has come for us to gather together again for our Texas State Missionary Baptist Congress of Christian Education; and because of that we are truly grateful. We have had many setbacks do to the pandemic and taken many personal blows, but still the Lord has been gracious to us. As we prepare to convene in Denton, Texas at the Morse Street Baptist Church to do the Lord’s work, we pray for a successful blessed session.
We had a wonderful session the last time we met and we are praying that God will bless us mightily in our session this year. Please encourage your people, as many as wish to be apart of our upcoming session, to please come praying, studying and learning with us for these (2) days.
I am asking each member church to bring five (5) people, and each District Congress to bring (25) people.
I am personally looking forward to seeing you in Denton, Texas during our Congress Session, June 13–14, 2023.
Serving with joy until He returns,
Rev. Jerry B. Lee, Jr.
Rev. Jerry B. Lee, Jr. (M.A.C.E.) President Congress of Christian Education
