Welcome to our first edition of Network News for Churches Working Together. My purpose is to helpchurches know about what Christ is doing in our area and ways we can work together to fulfill our common purpose. Each month I would like churches to send me articles about upcoming public events you are holding.We are also interested in what you are doing to share yourselves with those who suffer economic burdens. Let us know what other churches and individuals can do to help your church in it’s community mission. This email newsletter comes out of two organizations, The Bowling Green Ministerial Association and the Wood County Area Ministries. The BGMA is open to all clergy in the BG area and the WCAM is open to all Wood CountyChurches and faith based organizations. I hope you enjoy this newsletter, commit yourself to loving others as Christ has loved you, and jointogether in service. Pastor Helen K.
