CREATIVE THINKING

 

The theme for the Minnesota Baptist Association Southeast Ladies Meeting tomorrow?

            CHANGED MY MIND

The place? First Baptist Church, Lake Benton, Minnesota.

The speaker? Carmen Odens Allen

FUN FACTS:

Lake Benton is the town where Carmen was born. Her father, Arthur Odens, served as pastor of First Baptist Church. I won’t tell you when, because then you will try to guess her age.

Lake Benton is the town where Carmen and I began our ministry. I served as pastor of First Baptist Church from 1974-1976.

Lake Benton is the town where our third child, Kent, was born. Actually, it was in Hendricks, Minnesota, because Lake Benton didn’t have a hospital.

The current pastor of First Baptist Church, Lake Benton, Richard Riley, and his wife Heather,   were students of ours when we taught at Pillsbury Baptist Bible College.

FINAL NOTE: If you live near Lake Benton, be sure to attend the meeting. Carmen is going to do a great job! (And I am proud of her!)
