SPRING CELEBRATION 2016
North Cleveland Baptist Church
April 7, 2016
6:30 p.m.
1. The Welcome and Opening Prayer was given by Pastor Jay McCluskey of North
Cleveland Baptist Church.
2. Congregational Worship was conducting by Music Minister Lanny Green of North
Cleveland Baptist Church.
3. The CALL TO ORGANIZE SESSION OF BUSINESS was given by Pastor Keith Watson of
Council Baptist Church.
4. A presentation of Name Change / Constitution Change for the association was given by
Pastor Shane Lawson of Parkway Baptist Church. The Ad Hoc Team consisted of Pastor
Jamie Work (Candies Creek), Pastor Shane Lawson (Parkway) and Pastor Eric Atkins
(New Friendship).
It was noted that discussion of the name change started in March 2015 with the
formation of the Ad Hock Team by the Ministry Development Team. It was realized our
network had grown larger than the Bradley County area and the name “Bradley” might
give the impression that we are solely limited to our county.
After much prayer and discussion, the Ad Hoc team recommenced a name change to
the CrossNet Baptist Network.
5. Pastor Eric Atkins of New Friendship Baptist Church gave the formal recommendation
for the name change. Pastor Keit Watson closed the discussion and voting commenced.
6. Pastor Keith Watson opened the floor for discussion for the church messengers. After
the discussion, the issue was put to a vote. The vote results were 82% YES for the name
change and 18% NO so the motion was carried.
7. Randy Bonner gave a brief update on the Spring DC Mission Trip. Special Testimonies
were given Terry DeRoche (Big Spring), Amelong Hunter (FBC Cleveland), Leslie Coleman
(Clingan Ridge) and Chris Burger (FBC Cleveland).
8. A Special Prayer Time for our DC Partners occurred.
