AMERICAN BAPTIST WOMEN'S MINISTRIES
December 2024 Update
Thank you to all who attended and served at our Annual Women's Ministries Christmas Brunch!
Along with the joyous gathering into the Advent season, our "Baptist Bakery" was a hit and we sold many tasty Christmas treats, all donated by some of the best cooks in Olympia!

If you have looked at the Annual Report from our women you will see that we gave over $4400 this year to various causes. These include, but are not limited to:
- Camp Bethel hot water heater
- Offering to our ABW conference project
- Donation for the new roof
- Hygiene Kits
- Entertainment Explosion
- ABW National Women & Girls Fund
- Cleft palate surgery fund (Thailand)
To date, over 100 pillowcase dresses have been completed with more to come. If you would like to make some dresses to donate, contact Janice Holcomb or Jan Downen for information.

Looking ahead to next year, at our meeting in January, Rev. Mylinda Baits will bring a report on her recent trip to Ukraine. I hope many of you will come to hear her. In fact January would be a very good time to join the Women's Ministries group and see what we are all about. All women are invited... and bring your friends!

I have appreciated all the women who have stepped up this year to help when I could not be at meetings or other events. The memorial luncheons and receptions have gone off without a hitch because of the dedicated women involved.
God bless you one and all!
