AMERICAN BAPTIST WOMEN'S MINISTRIES
May 2025 Update
Our April meeting was delicious, informative, interactive and creative!
With Meggin Turk’s delicious minestrone soup followed by Patty Mauerman's scrumptious sticky buns and blueberry pie, I came away convinced that yes, most of Olympia's best cooks attend First Baptist! What a treat!
Then we heard from Candace Baughman, the OPOP representative (One Parish One Prisoner) working with our church team. She explained how the program works and the benefits to the person coming out of a prison sentence.
Meggin went over the new board/committee organization of our church government. It was helpful to see how the divisions have been made and how it all works.
The rest of our time was spent making spring flower arrangements for the Fireside Room tables and enough to be used for church events in the Fellowship Hall.
God bless you one and all!
