Indianapolis and a missionary church in Decatur. His pastorate at the Tabernacle Baptist Church in West Allis was his only “escape” from Indiana, during his 30 years as a pastor. He has also served in a number of other smaller communities. Even though he has served in churches which are fairly large (the Lakeland Baptist Church has 180 members) he is happy to be in this area. He stated, “We are impressed by the warmth and friendliness of the congregation and community. We’re looking forward to our years of service.”
Major events of the observance include the Quiet Day and descriptions of the mission projects for which a special offering is given. The women’s division of the board of global ministers of the United Methodist Church sponsors the Call to Prayer and Self-Denial. “Ministries by and with Women” is the theme for giving this year. In the United States, the offering will be used for projects such as ministries with women in prison which offer educational and arts courses and legal services to women prisoners; ministries with women in crisis which work with battered women, prostitutes and displaced homemakers; peer support groups for single parents and teenage mothers; and women’s health and employment services. Examples of international projects which may receive support include action-reflection groups among women and social service programs for children in the slums of Peru and Argentina; agricultural assistance and training for women in Tanzania; and leadership development programs in Angola and India. The service for the Quiet Day, “The Life Divine,” was written by Frances Eshelman and Francis B. Hall. The service encourages meditation upon the Life Divine and provides guidance for growth in one’s daily experience of God. About 1. 5 million women in 33,000 local units in all 50 states will join in the observance. Last year, the offering totaled $815,1-61, an increase of 11 per cent over the previous year. The committee for this observance is Mrs. Dan E. Watson, chairman; Mrs. Dick Mason; Mrs. Harvey Boyer; and Mrs. Ralph Walker.
