Children’s Homes hosts pastors wives luncheon

Alabama Baptist Children’s Homes & Family Ministries (ABCH) hosted its first luncheon for pastors wives Nov. 11 in connection with the Alabama Baptist State Convention annual meeting. Grace’s Kitchen, a nonprofit feeding ministry, catered the luncheon where more than 40 women gathered at Metropolitan Church of God, Birmingham, to hear from guest speaker Ruba Abbassi of Jordan. Abbassi shared about her work with women in the Middle East through Arab Woman Today Ministries, a ministry she founded that includes personal training classes and a radio program. Mary Shaw, wife of Mike Shaw, former Alabama Baptist State Convention president and retired pastor of First Baptist Church, Pelham, and Mary Minor of ABCH provided special music during the luncheon.
