"With God, nothing shall be impossible."


Weekly Advent Reflections from ABC Colleagues 
December 10, 2017

 Advent --
A Time "In Between"

A part of Advent spirituality is welcoming - on purpose - the discomfort of being "in between." Like our Jewish ancestors... 


Next Week... Reflection by Rev. Dr. Barbara Jim-George
 

 TRANSITION UPDATES

Our offices are moving this week to our new home at the Baptist Church of West Chester in West Chester, PA.  We're grateful to Rev. Dave Braneky for his hospitality, and to the relocation team: Rev. Dr. Randy Harris, Rev. Doug Harris and Rev. Dee Dee Turlington. New phone and email contacts are in process of set-up.


Our new postal address is:

The Ministers Council of the American Baptist Churches USA
221 South High Street
West Chester, PA 19380
 

Our office will be closed December 16-January 6 for holiday break and transition.

STAFF
Our interim staff chapter will come to a close at year-end, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Rev. Jabulani McCalister and Rev. Dr. Randall Harris for seeing us through.  Committed members with significant board experience, they provided steady, faithful, humble hands at the wheel.  Going forward in January 2018, our office will be staffed by a new part-time position entitled Member Services Coordinator.  We've just finalized this job description. Please share it widely with colleagues in the Philadelphia area.
