2013 Mid-Winter Board Meeting—National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. —————————— 5

January 22, 2013

Greetings, Beloved of NBC, USA, Inc.

It is with much joy that I welcome you to our Mid-Winter Board Meeting.

During our Mid-Winter Board Meeting, we will observe for the first time as a National Baptist family the celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It will be held on Monday night at 6:00 p.m. at Fifteenth Avenue Baptist Church, where Dr. William Buchanan pastors.

The remaining aspects of the Board Meeting will be engaging, as we talk about the future of our Convention, hear relevant reports, and share in meaningful worship services with dynamic preaching.

Let each one of us continue to pray that God will guide our thoughts, words, and actions so that His name may be glorified and the Convention edified.

Yours for His Cause,

Julius R. Scruggs, PresidentNational Baptist Convention, USA, Inc.
