‘Around the State’ is a segment in our eMagazine that goes out every other Thursday to our email subscriber list. In this segment, which appears in the last issue of each month, we feature church staff changes, as well as church news and big announcements you send to us. We want Arkansas Baptists to know what’s going on around the state and be able to celebrate together and encourage each other.
