BMA of Arkansas to Meet

This year’s BMA of Arkansas annual meeting will again be held at Central Baptist College in Conway. The dates are Thursday and Friday, Nov. 7-8. A tentative program is included in the August 28 issue of the Baptist Trumpet.
The following information was supplied by Duffy Guyton, director of Church Relations at CBC and BMA of Arkansas President Wade Allen.

BMA of Arkansas Meeting Information
Central Baptist College is honored to host the annual BMA of Arkansas Annual Session, which will be held on Nov. 7-8. It is our great pleasure to welcome the pastors and messengers of the BMA of Arkansas to the CBC campus. We love and appreciate everyone who is part of the BMA of Arkansas, therefore, we desire for your time on campus to be meaningful and worshipful!
It is our heart to serve you. So, for your convenience, an information table will be set up outside of the Burgess Auditorium. Please feel free to stop by and let us know if there is anything you need. Student leaders will be staffing the table for the duration of the session.
In addition, CBC will be providing complimentary water on the stages of Toland and the Burgess Auditorium, as well as complimentary coffee and water in the foyer area of Cooper Complex.
Helpful Parking Information
- The city of Conway has designated “fire lanes” with red curbs and signs throughout the campus. Please understand that the Conway City Police has jurisdiction of these areas, even though they are on CBC property. Tickets for parking in a fire lane are very expensive, and we have no control over them. The safety of our employees, students and guests is our highest priority.
- The same rules apply to parking on any of the adjacent streets around campus. These are marked with “no parking” signs. The City of Conway patrols those areas and tickets will be issued for any vehicles parked there.
- Central Baptist College employees and students will park off-campus to make room for meeting attendees.
- Golf cart shuttles will run frequently.
- All parking spaces on the south and west sides of the Cooper Complex will be designated “handicapped parking” for the duration of the meeting.
- Follow the “Overflow Parking” signage for additional parking options close to, but off campus. Golf carts will be shuttling from these lots.
CBC to Host Appreciation Breakfast
CBC will again host an appreciation breakfast for anyone attending the BMA of Arkansas Annual Session on Friday, Nov. 8 at 7:30 a.m. in the Mabee Student Services Complex.
