Buchanan Area Ministerial Association Monthly March Meeting

Written by Pastor Nate Babcock, Buchanan Christian Church

We had another good BAMA meeting this Tuesday morning, March 1, 2022 at Buchanan First United Methodist Church. Thank you Ellen for your hospitality, the breakfast, and your generosity with your books!

Those present were: Ellen Bierlein, Rachel Holloway, David Habicht, Jan Van Lear, Jann Mitchell, Dave Mitchell, Patti Mitchell, Father Leo Cartegna, Brendan Shea, Dan Barz, Nate Babcock, and a special guest, Kevin Haislip – a pastor from Texas and South Bend who is now living in Niles. 

As always, remember the ministries of R.A.M. and Life Plan in your prayers and with your donations.

We have paid our annual dues as a member of the Buchanan Area Chamber of Commerce. Our individual member dues to BAMA fund this payment. If you have not yet given your $10.00 contribution to Dan, please do so at your earliest convenience.
