WOW! It's February 16th already!
Can't believe that I have let so much time go by since I last posted something.
So very sorry about that!
Christmas has come and gone with all the business that the season brings every year.
Sure hope that everyone out there had a very blessed Christmas Season.
Now then.... I think that I really need to bring you up to date!
October 27, 2008!
The date that MCBC Women's Ministry was officially acknowledged as a new and emerging ministry by the MCBC Leadership Board. Praise the Lord for new beginnings!
Now we have to deal with a number of question that do not have any answers yet.
For example, what will this new ministry look like and who will be leading it in the future?
For the time being, until July 2010 when my term on the Canadian Women in Mission "Task Force" ends, I will try to be the person accountable to you and to the MCBC Leadership Board.
I am hoping that there are a few of you out there that would be willing to sit down with me, maybe over a cup of coffee or tea, and discuss how this ministry will take shape.
If this is something that might interest you, please feel free to contact me or come and talk to me at this weekend's MCBC AGM at Cedar Valley Mennonite Church in Mission.
I wrote a short report for the AGM Booklet that I had hoped to link to this blog but for whatever reason I am not able to link a document! :-(
Generally only AGM Delegates get to read the reports and I thought that our MCBC Women might all want to read it, so it is coming to you via the AGM this weekend. It will be sent along with your delegates and hopefully copies will be made for all of you in your home churches.
And, since all our previous BC Women in Mission Presidents always wrote at least 2 yearly letters, I have also written a letter to all of MCBC Women and this document is also coming home to you with your delegates.
I am also still actively looking for more contributors to this blog.
Sure hope that I will find some budding writers, very soon!
And speaking about blogs, the latest news from Canadian Women in Mission is that they have also started a blog. Check it out mennowomencanada.blogspot.com
Now how exciting is that?
Welcome ladies ! ! ! I have added you to our list of blogs!
On a personal note, to end up this post with, we welcomed our 5 grandchild. :-)
