and postage is donated to a mission or community project.

during the Christmas season. The money received from the sale of these tags goes
toward special remembrances sent to our shut-ins throughout the year.
SCHOLARSHIPS
1. The Women’s Fellowship Education Scholarship of $200.00 is available to qualified
applicants.
2. Financial Aid is available for any woman attending the National Women’s
Conference at Green Lake.

ABW MINISTRIES OF CT
SPECIAL PROJECT
Each year a Special Project, rotating among state, national and international needs, is
adopted by the ABW Ministries of CT.
LOVE GIFT
Love Gift, an over-and-above offering, expresses our thanks to God for our blessings,
and our desire to share these blessings with others. The money received supports
the entire American Baptist family: Regional, National, International, and ABW
Ministries. Colorful boxes, or envelopes, are available for personal use at home
WHITE CROSS
ABW Ministries Outreach
Through White Cross, we help our missionaries nationally and internationally with
needed items. This group meets at 10:00 a.m. on the first Tuesday of the month,
October to May, in Fellowship Hall. If you have questions, call Jean Denton or Carol
Wylie
MEALS-ON-WHEELS
This year our First Baptist involvement in Meals On Wheels is down to one route that
we do twice a month. Our long time, faithful volunteers Jean Forristall and Jean Martin
decided it was time to retire. Many thanks to them for the years of dedication to this
community outreach program of First Baptist Church.
Volunteers are needed for us to continue this worthwhile program. It only requires
approximately an hour once a month on either the first or third Monday morning. I'd be
happy to have someone ride along with me to get a feel for the route. Just contact Fay
Trowbridge --Thanks in advance.
RECEPTIONS
Women’s Fellowship provides receptions for funerals or memorial services. We set
up and serve refreshments, many of which are made by church people.
