WMU: Ellen M Noeller

As I was thinking about the article for the news letter, I thought of my 4 year old great granddaughter in Germany. She started preschool at a Southern Baptist Church just around the corner where they live. When I talk to her mom on the computer she tells me about the Bible verse that Megan has to learn for the week. Last week she had to learn "Children Obey Your Parents", she did not want to learn that verse., but she did. I thank God that she is in a Christian Preschool. She is always asking her mom and dad questions, and then if they don't know the answer she will ask me. I think of the verse in Isaiah 11:6, the last part of the verse where it say "and little child shall lead them." Are we like children who still have questions? We are all Gods children and he has a task for us to do. Pray for our missionaries as they reach out to the people they are working with. I thank God for are missionaries who are serving in Germany.

WMU held a council meeting in September at the Associational Office. We went over the July Women's Conference and we decided not to schedule it for next year.

The Pastor's Wives Coffee was held on October 10th, at Immanuel Baptist Church. We had 23 in attendance. Patti Boswell (KNCSB Ministry Wives Consultant) spoke to the ladies. It was a time of fellowship. We are scheduling another Pastor Wives Coffee for next year.
