The Baltimore-Washington Conference is offering a devotional booklet in advance of the 2013 annual conference May 20-30. “Worship shows our commitment to God. Worship reminds us that we belong to God and to one another. The repeated metaphors of unity — one bread, one body, one baptism and one God — weave us into a community of those who are committed to God.” To download a copy of the devotional booklet, click here.

Our coed softball league is gearing up to defend its 2012 championship title. Men and women, ages 18 years and up, are invited to play. No previous experience necessary. Or just come out and support the team.

Here’s the schedule.

We had fun raising money for the Nothing But Nets campaign to end malaria in Africa. The youth challenged the adults in a rematch of last year’s full-court basketball contest.

Once again, the youth edged out the older folks in a victory for them … and for children in Africa who will benefit by having bed nets to protect them against malaria-causing mosquito bites while they sleep.

The disease kills more than 600,000 people a year, mostly children under the age of five.

Join in the fight. Ten dollars buys one net. Click here to help.
