Make plans now to attend the CBF General Assembly

calendar

Don’t make those normal July 4th plans before considering the 19th annual CBF General Assembly, set for July 2-3, 2009, in Houston, Texas.

March 12: Morocco Choir Rehearsal, Highland Baptist Church, Louisville, 6:30 pm

Pre-register today for the Assembly. Once you pre-register, you will have the opportunity to reserve a hotel room at the host hotel, the Hilton-Americas. The rate for this four-star hotel is only $109 per night.

March 19: Northern Kentucky Cluster Meeting, Latonia Baptist, 6:30 pm

While you’re at the Assembly for exciting fellowship, inspiring worship, practical ministry workshops and much more, you’ll be amid downtown Houston with its restaurants, entertainment venues and shops — plus an easy public transportation system to get you from place to place. Whatever your interest, you’ll find something exciting in Houston, including the Freedom Over Texas Festival on July 4th. With live concerts and the state’s largest fireworks display choreographed to music, you’ll be glad you spent the holiday weekend in Texas.
