The Ohio Baptist General Convention, INC. Women’s Auxiliary  2014 Annual Deaconess Day Deaconess, Deacon’s Wives, Mother’s Board and Parish Workers WOMEN DOING THE WORK OF DEACONESS On Saturday, May 24 2014, we will assemble to commemorate our Christian journey as Phoebe’s and Dorcas’ of Jesus the Christ. Location: Bethany Baptist Church 959 Bulen Avenue in Columbus Ohio. Pastor Jonathan W. Bradford, Sr., and the Bethany Church Family have graciously opened their edifice for this our 15th year celebration as His servants. Everyone agreed the time change implemented last year was better than previous programs, so the continental breakfast will begin at 9:00 am, registration 9:30 am and the program promptly at 10:00 am.

Mrs. Janice Wicker, Chairperson

Pre-registration is $25.00 and on-site $28.00. A light lunch will be served following the program. The Women’s theme “Christian Women Called to Believe that God is God” continues to remind us honor comes through our service to others along this Christian journey. To place emphasis on our theme, several past Deaconess Queens will share their personal journeys as Phoebe’s and Dorcas’ as well as highlights of their yearlong reign as OBGC Deaconess Queen. The committee is looking forward to this change from a keynote speaker and it is our hope those attending the program are pleased, but most of all Christ is pleased. Last year, the Associational Queens participated in a well-run contest for the quest as 2013 OBGC Deaconess Queen. We will continue the contest as a means of financial support for the Women’s Auxiliary. Letters will be sent to the five Associational Women’s Auxiliary presidents by the end of January outlining the 2014 Annual Deaconess Day and soliciting their associations support. There will not be a souvenir journal, but a program that each Queen Contestant will support with patron lists. The committee for the Annual Deaconess Day are: Janice Wicker, Chair, Bobbie Clark, Co-Chair, Geraldine Carter, Lois Glover, Ilo Simmons, and Katherine Winfield, committee members. We serve our Heavenly Father, the OBGC Women’s President, Mrs. Mozelle Medcalf; The Convention President, Dr. Otha Gilyard; the OBGC Parent Body, and the OBGC Women’s Auxiliary. 6

We are grateful to God for a spirit of unity among the women of our Association we are growing; we are sharing the spirit of His Love. 2 Timothy 4:2 (NLT) Preach the word of God.

The Women of Providence are looking forward to sharing our blessings.  We will be giving the Providence Youth our full support at the Youth Auxiliary Workshop in March.

The women are permitted to keep their babies with them until they are six months of age if they are provided with the necessities such as clothing, diapers and wipes.  We will be holding the annual 2014 retreat, October 10th and 11th 2014, at Greenbo State Park.

Christian women with a heart to serve God in their homes, church and community. Sis. Washington; states that the many years of working in Corporate America cannot compare with sincere brotherly and sisterly love in the hopes and dreams of helping others . “Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength” Matthew 6:25 reminds us that; Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about…what you will put on. President Washington is a visionary, prayer warrior and encourager. During the month of December for the past fourteen years she celebrates her birthday by giving to those families who are in need for the holiday. God gave her the vision of the “Share With Love Project”. Over one hundred gifts of clothing, toys and food items were distributed in the community. The Women of Eastern Union also helped many needy children at Christmas by presenting a program at the YWCA distributing hats, gloves, mittens and gifts. Blankets were a gift of warmth to the homeless.
