Exactly half of the congregations in our GB District have contributed toward your connectional giving. You understand the important of regular contributions to the ministry and outreach of our conference, and how our work together enhances the connectional witness of our church (local, district, conference, and beyond)! Thank you so much for your good example and witness of trusting God to provide abundantly as you stand on God’s promise in Malachi! Please keep up the good work of monthly contributions. And to the other half of the churches - who have not yet begun to contribute your apportionment giving, please begin to make your regular contributions as soon as possible. Thanks. NEW - CLERGY/CHURCH EVALUATIONS Pastors received an email link for the 2021 clergy/church evaluations. Those conversations are meant to be a time of dialogue with the pastor and SPRC related to the work and ministry of the church in partnership with the pastor. Please make sure the evaluations are completed and submitted by May 15, 2021. If you have difficulty accessing the forms, please contact Joyce at the district office. Thank you. NEW - UPDATE LEADERSHIP DATABASE When persons are elected to local church leadership, it is of vital importance that their names and contact information (especially email addresses) are updated into the “Brick River” database. This database is our best means of communicating directly with as many people as possible. It is also how persons are contacted for district and conference events and information (like the upcoming annual conference). Please make sure your church’s database is updated ASAP. If you have difficulty accessing the database or need assistance with inputting the information, please contact Joyce at the district office. Thanks. NEW - ZIMBABWE PARTNERSHIP GB DISTRICT CHALLENGE CONTINUES! GOAL $20,000 total $8,950 remaining to assist with the Kariba and Kajokoto UMCs NEEDED BY EASTER! $5000 for COVID-Kits/Food SUPPORT THE HARAWE WEST ZIMBABWE PARTNERSHIP as we extend your generosity in ministry to help with the food insecurity and the ministry needs of the communities of the Harare West District in Zimbabwe After a zoom conversation with the new DS Anesu Katsande and several of the lay leadership in the district, we were thrilled to hear that the $5000 contributed from our district to assist with the food insecurity resulted in the same amazing things to share. On Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2021 was a food distribution to 350 families with food bundles containing each of the following: 10 kg (22.04 lb) mealie meal (corn meal), 2 kg (4.41 lb) sugar, 2 liters (.52 gal) oil, 2 kg (4.41 lb) salt, 500 g (1.1 lb) beans, 1 kg (2.20 lb) soy crumbles, and 1 bar of soap. They went to people in four high priority categories: Families headed by children, retired pastors and widows, elderly people and vulnerable children. A few will also be given to retired clergy widows. This is truly evidence of how God multiplies our outreach. Watch a video Check out the photos in a Harare West Facebook album As the conversation continued, we learned that an additional need exists related to COVID-19. There is no vaccine available in Zimbabwe, and medical resources are very low. So, I am appealing once again to the GB district to give generously and assist once again with a $5000 challenge to be met by Easter of 2021! We can do it again! This time, in addition to food support, we are hoping to supply the people of the Harare West District with “COVID-kits” which are valued at $10 each. The kits consist: zinc, vitamin c, vitamin d, protective masks, hand sanitizer, and gloves. These kits will be included with the next round of food hampers to assist families with the ongoing threat of COVID-19. We will continue to update you as we reach our goal. The most recent contribution has come from Irwin: First! Thank you for your generosity. Please write your checks to WPAUMC and put (in the memo line): GB/Harare West Partnership. Mail your check to: Sandra Matoushaya, 1204 Freedom Drive, PO Box 5002, Cranberry Twp., PA 16066. Contact the district office (724-461-7178) or Sandra Matoushaya (1-800-886-3382) for more information or to determine an online giving option. DISTRICT COMMITTEES District Committees are an important extension of the ministry of the local church on one side, and of the conference on the other. We are accepting nominations for all of the district committees and we need laity as well as clergy. We welcome diversity on all of our committees and look forward to serving with you.

Bodziak. Rice alleged that Bodziak sexually abused her from approximately 1974 through 1981. She did not file suit against Bodziak or the Diocese until June 2016, thirty-five years after the alleged abuse stopped. For the reasons set forth herein, we conclude that a straightforward application of Pennsylvania’s statute of limitations requires that Rice’s complaint be dismissed as untimely. Accordingly, we reverse the order of the Superior Court and reinstate the trial court’s dismissal of the case.

    The Joseph Smith Memorial Monument and Royalton’s “Mormon Affair”: Religion, Community, Memory, and Politics in Progressive Vermont In a state with a history of ambivalence toward outsiders, the story of the Mormon monument’s mediation in the local rivalry between Royalton and South Royalton is ultimately a story about transformation, religion, community, memory, and politics. Along the way— and in this case entangled with the Mormon monument—a generation reshaped town affairs. By Keith A. Erekson n December 23, 1905, over fifty members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) gathered to Odedicate a monument to their church’s founder, Joseph Smith, near the site of his birth on a hill in the White River Valley. Dur- ing the previous six months, the monument’s designer and project man- agers had marshaled the vast resources of Vermont’s granite industry to quarry and polish half a dozen granite blocks and transport them by rail and horse power; they surmounted all odds by shoring up sagging .....................

  • Recommended Bylaws for Local Assemblies
    Recommended Bylaws for Local Assemblies Recommended by The General Presbytery of The General Council of the Assemblies of God Revised August 2009 Contents Preface Instructions for Adopting Church Bylaws Recommended Bylaws for Local Assemblies Preamble Article I. Name Article II. Prerogatives and Purposes Article III. Affiliation Article IV. Tenets of Faith Article V. Ordinances Article VI. Membership Article VII. Government Article VIII. Elections, Vacancies, and Removals Article IX. Meetings Article X. Department Article XI. Finance Article XII. Property Article XIII. Arbitration of Disputes Article XIV. Amendments Preface In response to an increasing demand for some practical rules of order to serve as a guide in the development and conducting of affairs of local assemblies, the General Council Presbytery of The General Council of the Assemblies of God has prepared this document titled "Recommended Bylaws for Local Assemblies." These provisions have been thought out carefully and should have full and careful consideration before adoption. It is desirable that the form of organization for the church be kept as simple as possible. Boards should not be multiplied just to give offices to people. It may not be desirable to elect any deacons for longer than 1 year. There is, however, a legal reason for the election of trustees for 3 years each: so that some trustees are always carried over each year and at no time do all trustees go out of office together. Their terms should, therefore, be staggered. It would be well to impress upon the members of the church board at the time of their election that they have been chosen by the assembly to serve, rather than to rule.

  • District Highlights March 2019 Vol
    Western PA District Highlights March 2019 Vol. 19 No. 2 Jesus said, “Come, follow me!” The Season of Lent begins this year on March 6th. March 6th is my birthday and this year it also happens to be Ash Wednesday. How does a person celebrate his birth and at the same time ponder his mortality? Well, that is my problem not yours! But getting back to Lent - Lent is that 40 day period before Easter in which we are challenged to deepen our personal discipleship under the Lordship of Christ. We take it upon ourselves to ask again what it means to follow Jesus. How do we know if we are following Jesus? What are the telltale signs? We could respond with the “go to” answers like “going to church, giving to the church, reading the Bible, praying to the Lord day by day.” But is there more to following Jesus than those things? Again, how do we know if we are following Jesus? What are the telltale signs? We could perhaps list many things. But I want to suggest to you that a telltale sign that a person is following Jesus is this: When faced with a choice between Jesus and the world, he chooses Jesus. When faced with a choice between Jesus’ attitude and the world’s arrogance, he chooses Jesus. When faced with a choice between Jesus’ abounding love for others and the world’s meanness, he chooses Jesus. It may be simplistic or even redundant to put it this way, but the telltale sign that a person is following Jesus is that he chooses Jesus in everything.
