Zack and Courtney Newsome, newly appointed IMB missionaries, lead a responsive reading during the Sending Celebration at the SBC Annual Meeting in Dallas June 10.

The 2025 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting is behind us, and with it the meetings, reports, motions and actions that pleased some and disappointed others. I know that many church members and even pastors rarely or never attend an SBC annual meeting in person.

WESTERNPORT, Md. — On a cool day in June, Disaster Relief (DR) volunteers from Baptist conventions in Maryland/Delaware, New England, West Virginia and North Carolina gathered in Westernport to assist flood victims. Wearing masks and gloves, the team of about 30 men and women worked diligently, dragging ruined household items and shoveling mud from basements. They were finishing the final stages of a three-week deployment, focused on completing mud-out work on 150 homes following massive flooding in mid-May.
