March 13

This week I was serving the Pennsylvania Conference by participating in the Columbia Union functions.

On Monday and Tuesday all the president’s from the Conferences in the Columbia Union meet in the President’s Council with the Columbia Union Officers. On Tuesday afternoon, we had the Columbia Union Board of Education, chaired by Ham Canossa. Dave Morgan, our PA Vice President for Education is also a member of that committee, and we spent about an hour together after the CUBOE meeting discussing PA Conference education items.

Wednesday, I served on the Columbia Union College Board of Trustees Committee meeting. While there I also interfaced with two dedicated Adventist business professionals in regards to some things that may help Blue Mountain Academy over the future. I was also asked to serve on a subcommittee to suggest potential names for re-naming Columbia Union College as it moves toward University status.

On Thursday I served on the Columbia Union Executive Committee, where there are an additional 3 members of this committee from the Pennsylvania Conference. Pictured here, you will see Pastor Dennis Austin, from the Pittsburgh and New Brighton district.

Also a young adult, Christina Ivankina, who joined her father in being one of the church planters of the Lewisburg SDA Church. She is about to begin evangelistic meetings with a couple of other young adults.

At this Union Committee, the Pennsylvania Conference Executive Committee had nominated Erin Clark to fill the position on the Union Committee that was vacated when Cheryl Schaffer moved to Collegedale, TN.

Elder Dave Weigely, Neville Harcombe and Seth Bardu lead our Union and are dedicated to the ministry and effectiveness of God’s work here in the Columbia Union
