Forsyth County Missionary Union members attend state convention
The Woman’s Baptist Home and Foreign Missionary Convention of NC, Inc. was held July 25-27.
The Woman’s Baptist Home and Foreign Missionary Convention of NC, Inc. held its 138th Annual Session the week of July 25-27 in Supply, North Carolina. The host church was Cedar Grove Missionary Baptist Church, Supply, whose pastor is Rev. Jaymus Stanley.
Our theme – Building on the Foundation of God’s Love: Missions, Evangelism, Stewardship (Neh. 6:1-3) – guided our Annual Session as we converged at the beach for worship and fellowship to strengthen ourselves as Repairers of the Breach (Isaiah 58:12).
In an effort to Save Our Children, our keynote speaker was world renowned Dr. Sharon Cooper, MD, FAAP of Developmental and Forensic Pediatrics, P.A. who shared information on the state of affairs of our youth (sexual abuse, trafficking, court cases, crime, murder, shootings, revenge, violent deaths, etc.). Her subject, “What You See Is What Gets You,” explained how children are exposed to violence and suggested the tools that can help.
President Ellender LeMay’s address, “Go Tell the Story,” acknowledged God is Love and principles for success. One of our young adults was awarded a scholarship by way of Dunamis Development, LLC founded by Dr. Sherri Arnold-Graham, to attend the LEAP/ Leadership and Motivational Camp at UCLA. Our Youth Session focused on health, good hygiene and nutrition to help ward off diseases. Our Young Adults sponsored a meet and greet fellowship meal.
