About 500 women gathered at Heritage Baptist Church in Montgomery on Feb. 22 for Renew, an annual event put on by Alabama Woman’s Missionary Union that’s described as “a day away with friends.”
The Bible study leader for the missions-focused day was Heather Johnson, women’s life coordinator at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and assistant director of Thrive, the seminary’s certificate program for ministry wives. Nathan and Brooke Dodd were the worship leaders.
Pause and Pray
Renew also hosted a WorldCrafts store and an area called “The Backyard,” which offered several display areas where participants could sign up for Pause and Pray, part of Alabama WMU’s partnership with collegiate and student ministries.
All who attended Renew could also have their photo made in a giant “cake” as a reminder that Southern Baptists will celebrate the 100th birthday of the Cooperative Program in May.
