Roquemore publishes speech in magazine

An address delivered by Theresa Traylor Roquemore during the 142 Baptist Missionary and Education Convention Annual Session was recently published in The National Baptist Woman Magazine’s Spring/Summer 2016 issue. The Annual session was held at Beth-Eden Baptist Church, in Fort Worth. The title of the address was “High Cost with Worthy Benefits,” and was taken from Matthew 10:38. After hearing Roquemore’s address in October of 2015, Dr. H.D. Gatewood, president of the B.M. & E State and National Convention Women’s Auxiliary, recommended the address be submitted for publication. Roquemore is the Youth Director for the Unity Baptist Association in Linden, and the State Youth Director for the B.M. & E. Convention of Texas. Roquemore is a member of the Pine Bluff Baptist Church in Naples, where Reverend Roy Miles is pastor. She is the wife of Dea. Fred Roquemore and the sister of Mrs. Oreathe Traylor Sasser.
