WMU NEWS September 2025

Can you believe how fast this year is going by? School’s starting, football games are beginning and September 22 is first day of Fall (with cooler temperatures, I hope). We’ve just been so busy doing work for the Lord that the time just flew by!

Our August project for Serve NC was completed and the “Welcome Back to School” crates were delivered to both AES and AMS. Both schools were very appreciative. Then, this past Sunday night, our church members prayed around our schools for safety and a year of learning, for compassionate teachers and aides and a good year for all those individuals involved in caring for our children while they are in school.                        Afterward, we all enjoyed refreshing ice cream with all the necessary items for sundaes and banana splits.

September is the special offering for NC State Missions. Most of this offering goes to support Baptists on Missions which includes the disaster response teams that our areas in Western NC are familiar with, firsthand. We’ve set our goal to $2000 for our church. The BOM (Baptist on Missions) have been so strategic in dealing the devastation from Helene just east of us. And they have answered the call to other areas recovering from floods, fires, etc. BOM activities include international mission outreach to countries such as Armenia and Ukraine. We will collect all the month of September. I encourage our congregation to prayerfully consider giving generously and often to this very special offering for NC State Missions.

God bless,

Helen
