Good morning, !
 

It is clergy appreciation month, and I want to start with my deep gratitude for the work that ministers, pastors, and chaplains are doing! I'm not just grateful for the work that ministers do, I'm grateful for the people who are giving their lives to this work. If you are with us in this Three Minute Ministry Mentor community, then I believe you share my appreciation for ministers. We are going to spend this month sending love notes to ministers to remind them just how much we appreciate them.

Over the last week, I've been on the road meeting many seminary students, new ministers, lay leaders, theological educators, and seasoned pastors. I just finished an abundantly full weekend of lecturing and preaching. You can watch the worship service at Crescent Hill Baptist Church at the link below. Don't miss the original song by Elizabeth Weaver (25:13). It's fantastic!

What's next?

Rest. Then, I am heading over to the 40th Anniversary Celebration of Baptist Women in Ministry for a couple of days.

If you'll be there, please stop by the book table to say hello!

 Now is your time . . . 

And because we are expanding our 3MMM community so much in the last week, we have decided to extend the date for joining Baptized & Ordained by just FOUR MORE DAYS.

We only plan to do this once. So if you were thinking about joining us, now is your chance to sign up. It's not too late! 

Join by October 5.
