The first is organic churches that result when new lead- ers are recognized within a congregation and encouraged to begin a church plant. Secondly, churches must simplify and focus on essentials. We tend to become immersed in programs and policies that are non-essential and hinder reaching out to those beyond our boundaries. Churches must be incarnational in mission.

Credit: Lois Ann Mast. This fall’s assembly was hosted by Forest Hills Mennonite on October 23, 2010. Attendance was larger than usual this year with attendees representing most of the churches from Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Each year, in addition to the normal activities of announcements, reports, and budget approval, attendees focus on a particular issue. This year’s theme was “Celebrating the Edge” with an emphasis on young adults and how to keep this age group involved in the church. A panel of young adults who have chosen to remain involved in their home congregations shared their thoughts on various issues such as why they choose to be engaged in a Mennonite congregation, what they value most New pastors (first row, left to right): Sandra Perez, NYC oversight minister and about their congregations, and whether they member at Manhattan Mennonite; Jim Ralph, pastor, Ark Bible Chapel; Dave are perceived as equals by older adults in their Greiser, pastor, North Baltimore; Susan Gascho-Cooke, lead pastor at congregations.

  • Jewish Communal Fund's Generous Donors Had A
    his has been a record-breaking year for the Jewish Communal Fund, the donor-advised fund of the Jewish community of greater New York. We are very pleased that our donors distributed almost $300 million to thousands of worthy charities during the fiscal year Tending June 30, 2011. This represents the largest amount and number of grants recommended in a single year during JCF’s nearly four decade existence. Moreover, this extraordinary generosity was manifested in the midst of a prolonged economic downturn, while charities are struggling and especially grateful for the grants that have allowed them to maintain their necessary contribution to society. The Jewish Communal Fund is dedicated to providing our donors and their families with professional and efficient personal service—and the philanthropic community has taken notice. JCF received a four-star rating (the highest distinction possible) from Charity Navigator, an independent and well- respected charity evaluator. We were honored to be the highest-ranking Jewish organization in the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s Top 400 national charities list, at No. 35. JCF also ranked third in The Chronicle’s list of most money raised among New York-based organizations. On the personnel front, Ellen Israelson recently was appointed Vice President of Marketing and Donor Relations, replacing our longtime staff member Abby Tucker, who relocated after 13 years of dedicated service. Ellen will expand JCF’s marketing efforts and oversee the development of services for all donors, including enhanced services for the Private Client division. IFT L We also engaged Michelle Lebowits to lead JCF’s Center for Next Generation Philanthropy— the gateway for young Jews in their 20s and 30s to become involved in philanthropy.
