The Annual Meeting of the American Baptist Churches of Wisconsin will be held on Friday and Saturday, October 9-10. This year the Annual Meeting will take place in Milwaukee, at the Progressive Baptist Church on Friday evening, and at Calvary Baptist Church on Saturday. The Business Meeting begins on Friday at 7:00 pm, followed by Worship at 7:30 pm. Saturday’s session begins at 9:00 am with a Bible Study and Singing. Then at 10:30 am and 1:30 pm there will be a variety of workshop options and Mission Tours. Options include: White Cross Bandage Rolling, Chin (Burmese) Baptist History/Current, Prayer Quilt Ministry, Project Focal Point, Milwaukee Christian Center, Greentree/Teutonia Community Center, and Tudor Oaks Retirement Community. There will also be a reception celebrating the 35th anniversary of Rainbow Acres at 3:00 pm, followed by a closing worship celebration at 4:00 pm.
Another aspect of the Annual Meeting is Mission Mobilization, led by the ABCW Commission on Congregational Mission, of which Pastor Jim is the moderator. The project of Mission Mobilization this year will be providing food to those on the near south side of Milwaukee. The Commission on Congregational Mission is looking for volunteers to help prepare food, distribute food, and to help build playhouses for kids of the community. If you are interested in helping in any of these projects, and would like more information, contact Pastor Jim.
There are other ways all of us can help with the Mission Mobilization of the American Baptist Churches of Wisconsin. We will be collecting the following to share with those in need in Milwaukee:
· Canned vegetables
· Toiletry items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, washcloths, soap, and shampoo.
· New or gently used coats, hats and gloves
· Cookies for the meals that will be served while food is being distributed
· Money.
A special rate for people attending the Annual Meeting and staying overnight in Milwaukee is available at the Quality Inn, in Brookfield. For information on the motel, and other aspects of the Annual Meeting, please see the bulletin board.
