A few folks have been asking about Beulah Family Camp 2023. The annual formula is that BFC starts on the FIRST Friday of July. That means in 2023 it will be the latest it ever is with July 7th on a Friday. So, BFC is July 7-16, 2023, with District Conference on Thursday, July 13th and Ordination on Friday, July 14th.

District Board of Administration Fall Session

We are blessed by the leadership of our DBA, including two new members elected at District Conference in July – Debbie Allen (Amherst) and Victoria Rowe (Framework). The fall session convened on Thursday in the Edgett Memorial Boardroom at District Office and explored a wide range of agenda items including important work to discern next steps in the 2027 Vision Goal introduced at the Roundtables.

In my travel this weekend to serve on the Wesleyan Education Council (WEC), I had opportunity to worship on Sunday with our General Treasurer Kevin Batman and his family at a new Kingdom location in Westfield, Indiana. The Batmans joined the core team for the January launch of One Church (Andy Riemersma) which celebrated three baptisms this week for a total of 10 so far in its first year – PTL! Andy was a basketball star at the local high school and has had opportunity to lead 30 of his high school friends to Christ, including one who serves on the preaching team. It is so encouraging when gifted young leaders give their first and best to see His Kingdom come!
