Brother Ken Russom seats the Messengers.Brother William Gray gives Devotion: Speaking on being a labor of God reminding us that we should always put God first. That the Health of a Church is to Love God, Love one another and that our mission is to “ Focus Outward”, with the word of God.

Count of Messengers 42Speaker for the day was Archer Thorpe from the T.B.C. He spoke of the Focus on Missions, explaining that that your Community is a mission field, as well as the world and that everyone in a missionary in their own right. He also brought home the fact America is the 3rd largest Country of lost people, and that as Christians it is our reasonability to tell people of Jesus.

Brother Ken Russom calls for the Department Reports:

Treasurers Report given by Lucille Mc Farlin. Stating that an updated report is already prepared and in the handbook.

Clerk’s Report by Kim Cunningham, is already prepared and in the handbook.

Sunday School: Howard Coles N/A

Music Report: James Parham, Making a Joyful Noise unto the Lord has been his main objective while serving as Music Director.

Men’s Ministry: Charles Baxter, Thanks to Building Committee, Workers of the Tent Crusade, and support for the outings that were planned for the past year.

W.M.U. Kathy Tennyson, Expressing the importance of the W.M.U. Day Camp for the youth. W.M.U. is already looking for a bigger and better year. Also there is the thought of starting a Women’s Prayer Retreat on a smaller scale than Knoxville but giving some the chance to attend that are not able to make the trip.

Media Library: Gilda Lankford, Each year there are several conferences in the Middle Tennessee area that we are encouraged to attend. These conferences are training sessions to help us to be more effective in the growth of the church. I know that we cannot attend all conferences and meetings, but a Library can be the central point for information and resources for all departments. My job as Association Media Librarian as I see it, is to encourage and help Churches in getting Libraries working.

Volunteer Missions: Brother Bob Tolbert, Speaks of the Lyles Baptist Mission now named Rolling Hills. He also speaks briefly of El Salvador, written reports were given to the clerk to be added to minutes.

Brother Reece Cochran expresses his thanks for the support given to Caewood KY. Noting that 100% of all donations are used in mission work.

Memorial for Deceased Members: Brother Ken Russom and Kathy Tennyson worked together to bring a short memorial with pictures of deceased members that churches lost through the last year.

Brother William Gray presents a Plaque in memory of the late J.D. Cathy, to his family.

Old Business:There being no Old Business to discuss the meeting moves forward.

New Business:Brother William Gray speaks of the Tent Crusade for 2004, asking if the Association would be interested in having the Steele Family, with Brother Steele delivering the message. Although this may seem early in order to assure that these arrangements can be made as such as their schedule is usually booked full.

There was a vote taken with 41 yes and no opposed, Brother Gray will make arrangements with the Steele Family.

Brother William Gray brings up a discussion on the Minute Book of the Annual Meeting.Introducing the idea of putting the book on computer disk, Explaining that this would cut away much of the cost of printing. Also each church would be able to print as many copies as needed when needed. Another advantage would be that several years would be able to be put on each disk enabling each church to have a back up. There were some concerns that not all churches may not have the ability to print their own copies. It was decided that the number of printed copies be cut down this year and that every church would have access to a disk if wanted, so additional copies can be printed if needed.

Proposed Budget The proposed for 2004 passed with out opposition.

Annual Meeting 2004

It was decided that Brother Jerry Jenkins would deliver the message for the 2004 meeting with Brother Joe Estes as an alternate.

With there being no other business to discuss the meeting was adjourned with Brother Joe Estes leading the closing prayer.

Respectfully Submitted,Kim Cunningham

Judson Baptist AssociationWMU Report 2002-2003

This has been a very busy year for Judson WMU.

In November, ladies from several churches joined together to tack quilts for the Tennessee Baptist Children’s Home in Franklin. Eight quilts were presented to Hart Cottage as Christmas gifts.

In December we sponsored the annual Judson Association Christmas Banquet at East Hickman Community Center, with about 60 people participating. Our guest speakers for the evening were missionaries from Jordan.

In February we observed Focus on WMU with Leighann McCoy as our guest speaker. Six churches from the Association joined us for a time of inspiration as Leighann shared with us about WMU activities in Tennessee. Prior to the general meeting, Leighann met with a few of the ministers’ wives from the Association to let us know about some of the opportunities available to us through the Tennessee Ministers’ Wives Fellowship.

In March, we had three churches represented at the WMU Missions Get Together in Gatlinburg where we met missionaries, attended conferences and fellowshipped with over 2000 ladies from across the state. Ladies, if you have not attended a Missions Get Together, I encourage you to begin praying about the 2004 Missions Get Together which is scheduled for March 19-21. It will be a time of refreshing, encouragement and excitement for missions.

On August 9 we held our annual Day Camp for 1st through 6th graders at Camp Christian near Dickson. We had 41 children and 19 workers participating at the camp. Our missionary for the day was Valerie Payne, a missionary to Thailand, currently on state side assignment. There were 9 decisions after our worship rally, led by Bro. Jerry Jenkins.

On August 23, we had 6 ladies to attend a WMU training session at Bellevue Baptist Church where we received training in age level missions organizations.

The Prayer Retreat, “Kaleidoscope of Joy” was held September 26 and 27 at Paris Landing State Park. We had 9 ladies representing four churches who attended the retreat.

We are excited to tell you about a new event scheduled for October 24 th and 25th. We will be enjoying an Association WMU Book Study/Prayer Retreat/Sleep Over. This event will take place at Old New Hope Baptist Church beginning at 6:30 P.M. on Friday and ending around noon on Saturday. Ladies from 7th grade and up….. are invited to join us for a time of study, prayer, fellowship and fun. We look forward to seeing you there.

Letter from Valerie Payne

Hi Kathy. I've been meaning to write you for several weeks but am just now getting around to it. I wanted to express my thanks to the kids who attended the day camp for their generous gift towards our ministry with the Isaan people in Thailand. I was very impressed with the kids at your camp -

how they paid attention and asked questions and showed that they were really interested in what God is doing on the other side of the world. I have a feeling that some from that group may someday have an opportunity to be involved in mission work themselves. I pray that they will continue to be interested in missions as they follow God's leadership in their lives. They are getting a good start with people like you and the other leaders helping them to learn about missions and about giving to missions. We really appreciate the money they contributed, and we plan to use it in our ministry. Maybe we will use it to purchase supplies for our English camps, to purchase Thai Bibles or Christian videos to give the students, or for some kind of special event for the students. Please let the kids know that I appreciated their gift and I hope they will continue to pray for the Isaan people.

God bless you,Valerie Payne
