佛罗里达浸信会第164届年会11月9日在奥兰多开幕：主题「圣洁的迫切」，牧者大会同日举行
佛罗里达州奥兰治县奥兰多市将迎来一年一度的佛罗里达浸信会年会。第164届年会定于11月9日至10日在第一浸信会奥兰多教会（First Baptist Orlando，地址为3000 S. John Young Parkway）举行，今年的主题是「圣洁的迫切」（Holy Urgency），由佛罗里达浸信会主席、普兰特城第一浸信会主任牧师布赖恩·斯托（Brian Stowe）选定。
两天安排颇为紧凑。11月9日上午8时30分至下午4时30分先举行牧者大会，主题为「得胜」（Overcome），由杰夫·罗宾逊（Jeff Robinson）主持；当晚6时15分至8时50分，年会第一场会议正式开幕。11月10日还有两场会议，分别在上午8时45分至中午12时、下午1时45分至3时55分举行。与会者将听取州联会各机构的工作报告、处理会务动议并选举新一届领袖。
讲员阵容包括斯蒂芬·拉梅奇（Stephen Rummage）、路易斯·埃吉普西亚科（Louis Egipciaco）、特德·特雷勒（Ted Traylor）、比森神学院的罗伯特·史密斯（Robert Smith），以及美南浸信会神学院院长阿尔伯特·莫勒（Albert Mohler）等。年会现场还设有展区，共50家机构与事工参展。
为迎接年会，佛罗里达州各地的浸信会教会已在11月1日同步举行全州「洗礼主日」，作为会前的属灵预备。佛罗里达浸信会是美南浸信会体系下的州级联会，其年度会议是该州浸信会教会一年中最重要的集会，来自全州各教会的信使（messengers）将代表各自教会参与议决。
州联会提醒与会者提前查阅议程与场地信息，并为首次与会的信使预留熟悉流程的时间。年会各项会议向登记与会者开放，细节可在佛罗里达浸信会官网flbaptist.org查询。

Florida Baptist Convention's 164th Annual Meeting Opens November 9 in Orlando: 'Holy Urgency' Theme With a Same-Day Pastors' Conference
The Florida Baptist Convention will hold its 164th annual meeting November 9-10 at First Baptist Church of Orlando (3000 S. John Young Parkway) in Orlando, Orange County, Florida. This year's theme is 'Holy Urgency,' chosen by convention president Brian Stowe, senior pastor of First Baptist Church Plant City.
The schedule runs across two full days. On November 9, a Pastors' Conference meets from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. under the theme 'Overcome,' led by conference president Jeff Robinson; the annual meeting's first session follows that evening from 6:15 to 8:50 p.m. Two more sessions are set for November 10, from 8:45 a.m. to noon and from 1:45 to 3:55 p.m. Messengers will hear reports from convention agencies, handle business motions and elect new leadership.
Speakers on the program include Stephen Rummage, Louis Egipciaco, Ted Traylor, Robert Smith of Beeson Divinity School and Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Fifty exhibitors from ministries and partner organizations will staff the exhibit area.
Ahead of the meeting, Florida Baptist churches across the state observed a statewide Baptism Sunday on November 1 as a spiritual lead-in to the gathering. The Florida Baptist Convention is the state convention affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, and its annual meeting is the largest yearly gathering of Florida Baptist churches, whose messengers vote on convention business.
The convention encourages attendees to review the schedule and venue information in advance; meeting details are posted at flbaptist.org.
