CLOVIS (BNM) - The drive from Albuquerque for most of the staff of the Baptist Convention of New Mexico on Sunday afternoon and evening included high winds. On Monday morning, the BCNM staff gathered at Central Baptist Church, Clovis, to unload the BCNM trailer under blue skies. Its contents - resources, registration materials and team displays - were used for the Annual Meeting. The teams had prepared for weeks for the the 3 day meeting that took place in two different locations - separated by a 30 minute drive. The second location was the main campus of the New Mexico Baptist Children's Home and Family Ministries.
BCNM staff loaded three trailers in Albuquerque late the week before the Annual Meeting and drove to Portales and Clovis on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 19-20.
One trailer contained the equipment needed to run Story Central, the on-sight press room and information center for the BCNM's Information Services Team. The IST staff set up Story Central on Sunday evening at Central Baptist Church.
On Monday morning, the whole BCNM staff teamed together to unload the largest trailer, filled with equipment and displays for the Clovis portion of the Annual Meeting. The crew set up the displays, filled registration bags, and prepared for the events that would take place the next few days.
The staff of the Baptist Convention of New Mexico met at Central Baptist Church, Clovis, early Monday morning to unload the BCNM trailer.
