Ninth Annual Sheep and Shepherds Benefit Basketball Game

 

East St. Louis, Illinois, November 20, 2010 – The Baptist General State Convention of Illinois Laymen, under the leadership of President David Bozeman and The Missionary Baptist State Convention of Missouri Laymen, under the leadership of President Leno Blue, brought their respective Laymen and Ministers together for the ninth straight year to compete on the basketball court of East St. Louis, Senior High. Proceeds from this annual event benefit The Second Chance Homeless Shelter of East St. Louis.

Most of the participants and spectators at the game hailed from the St. Louis/East St. Louis metropolitan area and enjoyed some good clean fun and entertainment. In the first game, the “East Side” Laymen prevailed while the Shepherds from the “West Side” took home the honors. The real winners are the families able to receive shelter and services from the Second Chance Homeless Shelter as a result of the funds raised.
