I greet you in the name of Jesus.  The Lord has blessed us to witness another semi-annual session.  This time it was our 84th Semi-Annual session.  What a blessing.  Let us ever be mindful of our commitments to do the work of Evangelism and Mission, for truly this is our purpose for living.   To the members of First Baptist Church of Richmond Park, we want to take this opportunity to thank you for hosting our spring session.  We are looking forward to the Fall 84th Annual session with great anticipation.  It will be held at the Rock Zion Baptist Church.  We pray that it will be a spirit filled meeting.  I am asking for your prayers and support in order that this Association will be pleasing in the sight of the Almighty and that He will receive the glory.

"Time is running out".  And now unto Him, that is able to keep us from falling and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy....To God be the glory! 

Your Servant,    Dr. Excell Payne, President
