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.
