First Night of Bible Study

Kathy and Donna made a pact to encourage and pray for each other and for the women at FBC and the community to rely on God’s faithful guidance as we embark on the Winter Bible Study, “He Speaks To Me,” by Priscilla Shirer. We look forward to a great time together and want to hear ideas you may have about ‘going green’ as well as topics and events you want and need in your growing relationship with our Father. You will hear more about a culminating event for this Bible Study. On Thursday evening, March 26th, a ‘simple supper’ and wrap-up DVD session is planned for both morning and evening participants and guests. It will be a great time to share how we’ve grown through our time of journaling and Bible study. It will be a time to share with each other about how God has been faithful in our lives and about how we are learning individually and together. We will share how to be prepared to hear God speak to us.

Camp Pinnacle Retreat

Kathy Crowe, FBC evening Bible Study facilitator, and Donna Trotter, WEM Director, attended SELAH at Camp Pinnacle on Jan. 22 – 24th for a weekend of inspiration, motivation and reflection. SELAH is a retreat for Women’s Enrichment and Women’s Missions Leaders and is sponsored each year by the Ga Baptist WMU/WEM/WOM. It is coordinated by Janet Speer, Women’s Consultant for the Convention. While there, Kathy and Donna attended sessions encouraging WEM team leaders to ‘stay connected’ by taking advantage of every available communication resource out there, (e.g.) internet, snail mail, flyers, newspapers, phone, web sites, blogs and facebook. Graphic and communication specialists from the Alabama Baptist Convention headquarters spoke to the group on putting together cutting edge media formats for today’s women. The theme for the week-end retreat was “keeping it simple”. We were reminded that time is now. Time may be short for women to get back to the Bible for direction, instruction and guidance in raising our children, grandchildren and for reaching out to our family, co-workers and communities. Our earth’s resources are not unlimited and we are called by God to be good stewards of His time and this land.
