JULY 2021
August Christmas in August provides a simple way you can directly help a North American missionary.
Every year WMU and the North American Mission Board partner to select missionaries who will be featured in Christmas in August. These missionaries provide a list of items they need for ministry and outreach. The lists of requested items are posted online, and then you can select a missionary, collect the requested items, and send the items to the missionaries. For a list of missionaries and needs, go to https://wmu.com/missions-discipleship/christmas-in-august/

Leadership preparation for the new church year for all groups, other conferences, and fellowship time.
September 18 SRBA WMU offers Church WMU Leadership Development at our Fall Meeting at Sheldon Baptist Church.

LEADERS FOR 2021-2022
It’s time to secure leaders for the 2021-2022 church year. Some suggestions to consider:
If you have a small number of children/students/adults offer organizations where boys and girls and men and women meet together:
Children in Action for grades 1-6 (Use Missions Journey: Children)
Youth on Mission for grades 7-12 (Use Missions Journey: Students)
Adults on Mission (Use one book for the year: Missions for Life.)
Order all materials at wmustore.com.
SEASONS OF PRAYER FREE MATERIALS
WMU encourages churches to focus on missions in their Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth with special emphases throughout the year.
September Missions in SC - Janie Chapman Offering
Spring North American Missions - Annie Armstrong Offering
December International missions - Lottie Moon Offering
The emphasis is on praying for each of these mission fields, learning about the places so we can know better how to pray, and then giving to these special offerings to help reach the people who do not know Christ as their Lord and Savior.
SC WMU has free posters, prayer guides, and envelopes. These may be ordered once a year, and materials will be sent to you at the appropriate time. Call SC WMU at 803-227-6206 or go to scwmu.org.
