Baptist Women in Ministry News
July 2021

The summer months have been busy for Baptist Women in Ministry in the best ways! Earlier this week we met with the 2021-23 cohort of our Mentoring Program at Sacred Heart Monastery in Cullman, Alabama. Our time together provided inspiration, encouragement, and connection for these newly formed groups as they begin two years of learning together and supporting one another!

ANNUAL GATHERING HIGHLIGHTS

We are also so encouraged by your participation in our Annual Gathering on June 30! 268 people registered for the event to watch with others or on their own. We hosted 12 Zoom watch parties which ranged in attendance from 3 to 20, and we know of at least two other watch parties that gathered in person. If you missed being able to watch on June 30, the service is still available, as are different pieces of it which you can watch separately via the links below.
Here are pictures from a few of our Zoom watch parties at the Annual Gathering!
Thank you to everyone who participated by watching or giving to our
Annual Gathering Offering!
