From the Wider Church:  This weekend is the Annual Meeting of the Penn West Conference in Johnstown, PA.  At this meeting, the pastors and delegates will be voting on calling a new candidate as Conference Minister.  That candidate is known to many of us, Rev. David Ackerman, a Murrysville native.  Here’s more information.  I would ask for your prayers for Rev. Ackerman and for the meeting this weekend.

Grace and Peace,
Pastor Joseph
