The annual WFBC Ladies’ Retreat was enjoyed by 411 women who traveled from all over Wisconsin to the campus of Maranatha Baptist Bible College on March 26-27, 2010. Main speaker, Mrs. Miriam Marriott, enthusiastically shared Biblical truths about “Adorning the Gospel.” Decorations, music and skits drew attention to the theme, “Accessorize!”

Many workshops were presented by women from around the state, including:

*Ladies’ Choir (Carol Ruffin)

*Inward Adorning (Jan Sturgill)

*There’s Still Work to Do! (Karen Stein)

*Wearing the Hat of Motherhood (Jennifer Markle)

*Ministering to Ministers (LeeAnn Fowler)

*Witness! (Tammi Howell)

*Stand Beside, Not Between! (Gwen & Carole Bender)

*Survival Tips for Home Schooling Moms (Joy Mielke)

In addition, ladies were offered the opportunity to peruse the MBBC bookstore and enjoy the Old Main Café. After the Friday evening session, they could choose from activities such as volleyball, singing & prayer time, table games, or card-stamping.

The 2011 WFBC Ladies’ Retreat will be held on the campus of Northland International University in Pembine, Wisconsin on March 18-19. Speaker will be Mrs. Marcia Phillips.

On January 31, 2010, Lakewood Baptist Church held a chartering service, with over 40 believers signing as charter members. Pastor David Marriott began holding Bible studies in Delafield in 2009 as a prelude to planting the church. Calvary Baptist Church in Watertown provided support as a “mother church” and helped with organizational, financial and practical help. Dr. Marty Marriott spoke in the Sunday School hour, and Dr. Robert Loggans preached in the morning service. Following a fellowship meal, church members gathered at a nearby motel pool for a baptismal service for 8 believers. We rejoice in the healthy start for a strong fundamental Baptist church in this populated and needy area.

A council was held on Saturday August 16th at Westside Baptist Church in Janesville where Bob Logan is the pastor. The candidate was Daniel who will be working with his parents Bruce and Ruth who have served for many years. A number of area pastors attended the questioning session and Brother Daniel did an excellent job of presenting his testimony and doctrine. The executive council voted unanimously to recommend ordindation to the Westside Baptist Church.

On Sunday evening August 17th the church held an ordination service for Brother Daniel. Special music for the service was provided by the candidate’s mother, Ruth, and by Deacon Dennis O’morrow. I preached the charge to the church from Colosians 4:2-4 with a charge to faithfully uphold Daniel and Hannah in prayer for their ministry. The candidate’s father preached the charge to the candidate from II Timothy with a number of key challenges from that pastoral epistle. Following the charges the deacons and myself and the candidate’s father laid our hands on him with Pastor Logan giving the ordination prayer. The evening concluded with a lunch in the church fellowship hall.

Daniel and his wife Hannah will serving with his parents for six months and returning to raise support for a future work. Pray for God to bless their work.
