American Baptist Home Mission
August 2012

Greetings in the name of our

Lord and Savior!

 

Before the church season reaches full swing in September, I urge you to be deliberate about taking time this month for self-care. It warrants repeating that those in ministry can

be so concerned for the needs of others that we neglect

our own needs. Ultimately, we can't help anyone else if we, ourselves, become burned out or ill. Know that American Baptist Home Mission Societies (ABHMS) is always here

to support you. And, as noted below, our Workshops for Church Life and Leadership are available at no cost to aid

in your ministry.

Youth participate in mission outreach

More than 1,000 youth, aged 14-19,

and their leaders spent two July afternoons in mission at sites throughout Washington, D.C., as

part of Immerse, the ABHMS-sponsored

national gathering of American

Baptist youth.
