Mark your calendars ... it's not too late to host a dynamic preacher
Make plans now to participate in the Martha Stearns Marshall Month of Preaching, which takes place in February (next month!).  Since 2007, Baptist Women in Ministry has invited Baptist churches to participate in Martha Stearns Marshall Month of Preaching by inviting women to preach during the month of February. This annual event has been a deeply significant source of joy and discovery for many women and churches.  This is an opportunity for you to publicly voice your support of women in ministry, to remind your congregation that God does indeed call women to the work of the kingdom, and, most importantly, to invite into your pulpit a woman who has never had the opportunity to preach. Use Martha Sterns Marshall Month to be counted with other Baptist churches in celebrating the calling and gifts of women. Learn more at the BWIM website and sign up today!
