Abuse...Physical... Mental... Oppression...Child Endangerment..Prostitution...Slavery... We would be amazed and uncomprehending to learn the extent of these problems existing in the area of Southwest Missouri. One of our own NHBC church family, Glenn Cozzens, is an International Justice Mission worker. He will be discussing these topics and sharing valuable information and insight at the Women on Mission meeting Tuesday, April 9, during our 11:00 program time. Men and women of the church are invited to attend this meeting in the fellowship room of the church.

The business session begins at 10:00 with Judy Divine, president, presiding. There will be a carry-in lunch served at the noon hour with hostesses Delores Thompson and Ruth Scott in charge. A group prayer time for our missionaries will be led by Patti Crocker.

     On Tuesday, April 23, Women on Mission will gather in the fellowship room at 9:30 for a coffee to begin their morning activities. The business session under the leadership of President Judy Divine begins at 10:00. The program which follows at 11:15 will be an informative presentation by Carolyn Brown, a former member of National Heights, who has been involved in Good News Club for several years. She has seen a number of children involved in this program and knows many advantages. These are groups that are often held immediately after the school day ends which lend a positive, upbeat message to children involved.
