CMBA loves our ministers’ wives! Please share about this sweet gift from the South Carolina Baptist Convention with your minister’s wife!

We did something special for a couple Ministers’ Wives in the Midlands and invite you to join in on the fun! Ministers’ wives, use the barcode to get a treat from Starbucks or, church member, purchase a treat and take it to your ministers’ wives on us! Make sure to pray for these ladies and let them know you appreciate them. (Funds will be updated over the next couple days!)

If you want to see the fun, watch our reel here: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DYfBBxEO10R/

UPDATE: Funds are no longer available, but our appreciation for Ministers' Wives never runs out. We are grateful for you!
