Royal Ambassadors

 

Royal Ambassadors had another good year of participation from the association's churches. The annual RA Track Meet was held in March with the boys from New Hope leading the way. The RA Racers Meet was held at Ft. Walton Beach First Church. Five churches participated with 47 boys racing the cars they built. It was the first time Northbay came to the RA Racer event. Ft. Walton Beach First Church sent 15 boys to RA Camp during July. In October, our association received an invitation from Santa Rosa Baptist Association to participate in their annual campout. Ft. Walton Beach First and Niceville First attended as usual. It was the first time that New Hope attended the campout.

 

This church year of 2007/2008 marks the 100 anniversary of Royal Ambassadors. A special RA patch was created to commemorate the event.

 

We are ambassadors for Christ!
