Opening Up
Our offices will be open next Tuesday, May 26. I would not say we are back to normal but as I have heard so many times it may be the new normal for now. Our staff is eager to get back in the office and see each other and have fellowship together. We are also eager to reach out to our local churches, conferences and regions to help in any way we can as we continue to minister in our changing day-to-day experiences.
A number of our churches have begun to have drive-in church and others are continuing to have online services and devotions. We would love to hear about what your church has experienced in their worship through this time. Please e-mail me at slawson@acgc.us and tell me about your services.
Leadership Development
Things have continued to move forward in our leadership development efforts. MTI has begun their second session and work continues to recruit more students for fall 2020. Berkshire Institute of Christian Studies had their commencement virtually on May 9. You can view this on YouTube here.
These students have worked hard through very different circumstances to complete their classes and assignments. I join with the BICS staff and leadership in congratulating these students in their graduation from their year of studies to receive a Certificate in Biblical Studies and pray that God will bless them as they continue to serve him in whatever field they are led.
We are praying for all of you as God continues to direct us in our service to this world. It is exciting to be able to work together virtually and practically for the kingdom work to fulfill the Great Commission and the Great Commandment.
