For your prayer lists

I have so appreciated the response and concern expressed about my “appointment” to the American Baptist Churches Transition Team. You have given confirmation that this service is important. I wanted to let you know that a first meeting has finally been set. It will be an all day meeting at Valley Forge Pennsylvania on Wednesday, February 27. I’m flying out the day before and flying back the day after. I’ll be staying with friends in the area (saves ABC money and I get to talk and catch up with friends!). Thanks for your continued prayers for me and for the work we are doing together.

Soon after, the ABC Executive Committee meets in Kansas City. Terri Simpkins (Burien community church and President of American Baptist Women’s Ministries) is on that Committee and they will be the first to receive a report from our work. Then the General Executive Council meets the first week of April, which will continue to work out concerns about the new structure. This will give the transition team its next steps. Then the General Board meets in June! Keep those prayers coming!
Grace and peace,
Marcia
Rev. Marcia J. Patton, Ph.D.
