Promotion and Missionary Education (PME) Report ~Educating, Equipping, Enriching, and Inspiring~

“Don’t turn your back on wisdom, for she will protect you. Love her, and she will guard you. Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do! And whatever else you do, get good judgment (understanding).” Proverbs 4:6 &7 NLT

We perused the pages of the 2013 Mission Education Curriculum “Health Matters”, delved into some aspects of life in Mexico, and we still can write more and more on the topics found on the pages. In 2014, we continue to be faced with disparity in health care, and skyrocketing numbers of premature deaths in America due to lack of adequate care, health insurance coverage or funds to provide either or both, and poor eating habits/choices. It remains important that we continue to spread the good news, that good health matters.

During the summer of 2013, NJCBWMS Worship Leader, Sister Juanita Moss and yours truly, were asked by our President, Sister Patricia N. Smith, to offer a combined workshop with the PME Directors/Worship Leaders. With teamwork, ten minutes could cover the devotions and the monthly lesson. The workshop was well attended and insightful. The gathering turned into such a blessing for us all, and we are looking forward to presenting another workshop.

The Connectional PME Dialogue was held the 2nd weekend of December 2013 at the Doubletree Hotel, Baltimore, Maryland. We brainstormed for themes, lesson topics, etc., for the 2015, and 2016 yearbooks.

The theme we are feasting upon this conference year is “Finding Peace in the Midst of Conflict: In the Home, In the Heart, and in the World.” The Geographic Theme: Canada. As we keep up with current events, we can confirm this theme is on target. Conflict is on every hand, yet we know who has promised and does give us peace, if we put our trust and faith in Him.

Our sincere thanks and appreciation to our President, the Area PME Directors,

Area Chairpersons, Local PME Directors, and each missionary for continuing to purchase, use WMS Educational Curriculum, and for your support. So, let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with each of us.

Conference Branch WMS President, NJ Conference Branch WMS Executive Board

I grateful to almighty God for affording me the opportunity to make my second annual

report as Historiographer/Statistician, under the dynamic leadership of our 17th New

Jersey Conference President Sister Patricia N. Smith. To God be the Glory.

Reviewing the past history of the NJWMS, gives a reflection of how far we have come,

yet how much work remains to be done:

The New Jersey Conference is moving forward on Project Possible “Skills That

Propel.” The project’s is to give women the tools and techniques required to self-

assess the skills and interests already existing within them that can be developed

to yield personal income, while providing the community around them with a

viable product or service.

The New Jersey Conference Branch Queen Sister Wilma J. Farmer a member for

many years of Mt. Pisgah AME, Lawnside and President of the Margret C. Cox

WMS. Sister Farmer has the distinct pleasure of being crown the First Episcopal

District Queen.

Conference Branch Mass Meeting/Annual Training was held at St. James AMEC,

Atlantic City. The meeting was well attended and the workshops on the National

Affordable Care Act (Obama care) and Disaster Preparation were extremely

informative.

The Conference Annual Luncheon honored “Mission Minded Men.” On this

special occasion the WMS enthusiastically showed their gratitude by showering

them with gifts, and expressions of appreciation.

The Conference continues to explore who and why of our local WMS names.

A pictorial collage of our year’s activities will be posted for your information and

pleasure. Many thanks to the Area Chairpersons and Local Presidents for their

submissions.
