Dear Partners in Missions,
MOVING OFFICES 
On Friday, April 29 we moved to our new location at 806 W. Main Street, Greenwood MO 64034! We will have a formal open house after we get settled but we look forward to seeing you anytime you can drop by. We want to continue to serve you and the churches and work together to extend the Kingdom!
EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING
We admitted three more churches into our Association, celebrated Pro-Life Ministries, 
had the first reading of proposed BR-KC Bylaw Amendments, and rejoiced over mission and ministry progress at our April 28 Executive Board meetings. Many thanks to Pastor Lindy Reed and Calvary Baptist of Blue Springs for hosting us! The proposed Bylaw Amendments are essentially two fold. One, that the Administrative Committee essentially take on most of the functions of the current Executive Board. Two, that the larger role of the Executive Board be folded into a semi-annual meeting of the Association. As such, we would have two larger, semi-annual meetings (one Spring and one Fall) instead of one annual meeting with quarterly Executive Board meetings three other times per year. The Administrative Committee would take on the role of the Executive Board between semi-annual meetings. We will publish and discuss these proposed Bylaw Amendments again at our July Executive Board meeting, and then have a final decision made at our Annual Meeting Sunday evening, October 2.
VBS MISSIONS OFFERING
I would like to ask you to please consider having a “VBS Kids Helping Kids Mission Offering” this summer. The VBS mission offering funds would be used to benefit the proposed opening of a home for girls who are domestic minor sex trafficking victims. Thank you for prayerfully considering designating your VBS missions offering to help these girls in need of rescuing and restoration!
