Thank you to every church that participated in the Alma Hunt Offering for Virginia Missions in 2002. The total contributed by Strawberry Association churches was $56,946.04. Our association received $755.37 from the offering.

Dear Steve, Please convey our deepest appreciation to the Strawberry Baptist churches who gave to the Jail Ministry. The needs are far greater than the time available to meet those needs. May God continue to bless the association and her churches.

Chaplain Travis

Guest Director: Rev. Tom Ingram who serves Virginia Baptists in the Department of Music and Worship
