• Our American Baptist Women’s Ministries (ABWM) presents a challenge to our church to help fulfill a White Cross International Ministries giving opportunity. The ABWM is willing to match up to $225 for our donations this month of February for Tom and Terry Myers, American Baptist missionaries in Bulgaria. Last year, the women supported the Myers’ ministry with a donation as well. They work in ministry with the Baptist Union of Bulgaria. White Cross gifts help provide necessary items such as warm clothes, food, special gifts, hygiene kits, and opportunities for education to those in need, especially the Roma (gypsy) people. Helping these families will give them a chance to become self-sufficient and let them know they are valued. Send your donations to First Baptist Church, Malden #493 Main Street, Malden, MA. 02148. More special offering envelopes are available in the church office and Parlor. Thank you for your generous giving.
