Get in the Picture 2010
After the very successful launch of Get in the Picture in Advent 2009, why not engage your community with the Christmas story in 2010?
Get in the Picture seeks to involve all kinds of people in the Christmas story, encouraging them to participate and experience being part of the nativity in a fun way. Churches set up their own nativity scene in the town and invite individuals and families to dress up and be part of the scene. A photo is then be taken and uploaded to the Get in the Picture website for them to print or email to friends. This website also offers information about the Christmas story, and details of the Christmas services taking place in your area.

Now available from BUGB Publications - Wellsprings is a new eight-week course of refreshment and pampering, looking at issues women face today from a Christian perspective. It offers a ‘pre-Alpha’ evangelism course suitable for single and married women - those who have contact with Christians through friendship, or church activities such as parent and child groups or keep fit classes.

American Interim Pastor Ministries (AIPM)
AIPM recruits retired ministers and laypersons that God would call to interim pastoral ministry to serve as volunteers in Britain. American interim pastors have served 13 UK Baptist churches since 2000, coming alongside church members to help with the responsibilities of ministry to both the fellowship and the community.
If you would be interested in finding out more about the opportunity to invite an American interim pastor to minister with your church, see the new Mission File and AIPM booklet.
