CHURCH PLANTING AND REVITALIZATION FOCUS FOR MEETINGS
Clare Jewell, director of Regular Baptist Builders Club and national church planting coordinator for Regular Baptist Churches, will be interacting on the topics of church revitalization and church planting with Michigan Association of Regular Baptist Churches groups from Grand Rapids and eastern and central Michigan, Sept. 10–13. The regional meetings are part of the MARBC Core Values series, facilitated by Ken Floyd, MARBC executive director.

EASTERN MARBC TO FEATURE LESSONS ON LEADERSHIP
Lessons on leadership from the book of Nehemiah will be the topic for an upcoming Eastern Michigan Association of Regular Baptist Churches meeting, Sept. 16, at First Baptist Church, Caro, Michigan. Manning Brown, director of Regular Baptist Chaplaincy, will be the featured speaker.

RENEW WOMEN’S CONFERENCE
Northeast Fellowship’s Renew Women’s Conference, Sept. 20–21, will feature guest speaker Julie Henning, who will share her story of God’s grace as she went from living as a poor Amerasian orphan to being raised as Pearl Buck’s daughter. In addition, the conference will offer spiritual encouragement and personal help to women through 13 workshops. See Renew Women’s Conference brochure.

WARBC FOCUSES ON THE LORD’S SUPPER
“Reclaiming the Orphaned Ordinance: A Study of the Lord’s Supper” will be the topic of the WARBC annual meeting, Oct. 6–7, hosted by First Baptist Church, Kiel, Wisconsin. A synopsis of the topic states, “The Lord’s supper is often observed with little explanation other than that it is a reminder of Jesus’ death. But the Lord’s supper is much more than just a mnemonic device to help us remember Jesus’ death. The Lord’s Supper is a beautiful gift to the church from Jesus Christ. For over two thousand years, God’s people have regularly gathered around a table to enjoy a simple meal in obedience to Jesus. The symbolism found at the Lord’s Table is rich and robust.”

NARBC CONFERENCE: SHAPED FOR SERVICE
An exposition of the book of Titus will enrich conferees attending the Nebraska Association of Regular Baptist Churches Conference, Sept. 27–28, at Park Lane Baptist Church, Omaha, Nebraska. Scheduled speakers are Pastors Keith Hunt, Peter Jenks, Shawn Rittmiller, and Bob Sauser. For more information, see the NARBC bulletin insert.
