Annual Report 2013
Challenge Equals Opportunity
Brenda Mann reviews snapshots from 2013 Annual reports give us a snapshot of a given moment in time. 2013’s snapshots inspire and challenge me! The good • There is a new energy in some groups especially as they focus on prayer and missions. • Some of our long-supporting groups have continued to pray, study and support our work while others have passed the torch to the next generation. • Outreach into communities is creative, relevant and expanding. • Our pastors are connected, concerned and supportive of the ministry of the women in their congregations. (One bought and presented the CBWOQ’s history book to the church library; two male pastors have contacted us to ask how they can support our initiatives in fighting human trafficking; we had 16 women clergy find support together at our Women Clergy Retreat.) • At one church, 31 women pray everyday! • One women’s group held an event to bless pastors’ wives.
