The Nominating Committee had its first meeting last week. Making sure that people have an opportunity to minister in the
areas of their interests and gifts is important to us. So, if there is a particular ministry area that you would like to be a part
of, let us know. We have already begun contacting people about serving next year. If you are contacted, we ask that you
prayerfully consider the request. That can be a trite phrase, but we believe that is an important part of the process. You
may contact anyone on the committee to share an interest. Please pray for all people who are considering these positions
of service.
Thank you, the Nominating Committee:
Tim Bonner, Chair; Carolyn Carlson, Jenny Purvis, Rev. Cheryl Harader
In 2011, our church sent a mission team to Haiti to begin
work on a school on the outskirts of Cap Haitian. While the
construction has been slow, we received this week a good
word about the work continuing: Let us continue to pray
for the work of ABC missionaries and all who bring hope
and grace to the people of Haiti.
Dear Loved Ones. Greetings! Please find here the
progress of the school. The
walls for the first part are
over. Slowly we are all
making great progress.
May God bless all of you.
~Nzunga Mabudiga, ABCUSA missionary to Haiti.
Within the next few weeks, Justice Matters will be conducting our house meeting process, gathering together
in homes across Lawrence to share the work of justice.
Last year, First Baptist joined with twenty other congregations to share this important process. This year, you
will be invited to join in a house meeting to learn more
about justice (and injustice) in our community, and how
you can help to respond. We hope to contact every
FBC member to participate in this important work, so
expect a call in the coming days!
