For your prayer lists

I have so appreciated the response and concern expressed about my “appointment” to the American Baptist Churches Transition Team. You have given confirmation that this service is important. I wanted to let you know that a first meeting was held at Valley Forge Pennsylvania on Wednesday, February 27.

 Soon after, the ABC Executive Committee met in Kansas City. Terri Simpkins (Burien community church and President of American Baptist Women’s Ministries) is on that Committee and they were the first to receive a report from our work. Then the General Executive Council met the first week of April and will continue to work out concerns about the new structure. This gave the transition team its next steps. Then the General Board met in June! Keep those prayers coming!

Grace and peace,
Marcia
