The American Baptist Women’s Ministry Focus for June, 2017 is See… . “This is the last official month of the two-year program theme See… . “before AB Women’s Ministries launches the new theme on Women’s Day at the end of the month. It’s time to wrap things up! How have these two years helped you better understand how you see God, how God calls you to see others, and how God sees you?”
Ladies since January 2016 I’ve shared with you from the American Baptist Women’s Ministry Focus Resource book for 2016-2017. Each month focused on a different aspect of what it means to see or be seen. We learned about See… The Risen Christ, Angels Among US, Healthy Families, My Neighbor, Poverty In America, Spiritual Growth, How God Sees You and ten other subjects. These and all the others can be found on beckleyfirstbaptist.org web site where the BEAM is published each month.
Next month the AB Women’s Ministry will introduce a new two-year, 2017-2019, focus. I pray the 2016-2017 focus themes have been helpful and the new one will be too.
The American Baptist Women’s Conference is at the Parchment Valley Conference Center June 2-4, 2017. The theme is “Getting to Know You” The scripture Is Ephesians 1:17, “I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.” The Keynote Speaker is Pastor Jeff Davenport and his wife Beth Davenport is the Music Director. The Guest Speaker is IM Missionary Debbie Muliniex. Several from Beckley First Baptist American Baptist Women will be attending.
A trip to the Fruits of Labor Cafe in Rainelle is planned for June 15, 2017. PTL, the new church van is available. A sign-up sheet, at the church office, for anyone that wants to go.
