During the week beginning 13 May, the Association of Baptist Churches in Ireland held its annual assembly meetings in Lisburn.
The 118 churches across the island work together in evangelism, church planting, mission, training, women’s and youth work. The assembly kicked off with ‘Association Sunday’, when churches are encouraged to engage in pulpit swaps and joint services.
The women’s event on the Monday evening celebrated 90 years of joint women’s work and heard news of evangelistic and training endeavours such as ‘Walk for Life’ and the women’s ministry course. Ann Benton opened God’s Word and encouraged all present to embrace the limitations that life can bring to us.
