Hello Nor’Wester readers!  I hope this edition of the NWBA newsletter finds you joyfully serving the Lord and His church!  Over the past few months many of our churches have faced the task of searching for a pastor.  While not all have found the right candidate to lead and serve their respective    congregations, I am happy to announce that two of our churches have pastors coming in view of a call.     We will pass on more information as it becomes available.

Coming soon to our association is the annual VBS Clinic.  Each year our VBS leaders and teachers gather  together to preview and learn the ins and outs of the new theme from    Lifeway.  This year we will meet at FBC Mooreland and explore the theme Amazing Wonders.  I am excited about this theme and think that your church will be able to do really great things in crafts and decorations to  capture the imagination of our children.  As always we hope to use VBS to teach God’s Word and the Gospel.  Look for ways this year to  serve and minister to the children of your community.  Find ways to make Christ and his Gospel real and personal to those who attend the  exciting days of VBS!
I want to say a big thank you to FBC Mooreland, Bev Kelting and Carla Thomas.  Over the years your church has led our association in VBS preparation and your work and faithfulness to minister to children is really appreciated!

Our Kid’s Camp committee has met and the planning for Kid’s Camp is going really well.  We have a great team in place to work out the many details for camp and I look forward each year to gathering together and serving the hearts and minds of    children.  Our goal at camp is to   provide a fun, safe and caring  environment where kids can hear God’s Word and experience God’s Love and Grace.  This is truly an effort that requires “all hands on deck” and without the great support and participation of the NWBA churches our camp would not be a success.   Be on the look out for more information coming in the weeks ahead.NWBA Kid’s Camp

Meeting Needs

Meet baby Carina and her mother Rosa:

Northwestern Baptist Association provided one year’s worth of formula for baby Carina through the ASOSAP, Hope of the Pokomchi.  Rosa and Carina are from the village of Cruachuz Guatemala.  Carina weighed 4 lbs at birth and through our support and 6 months later she weighed 10 lbs and is growing.
