More than 350 people from the 30 Grace Brethren churches in the Northern Atlantic Fellowship attended the district celebration this afternoon and evening at the Penn Valley church in Telford, PA.
Here district moderator Dan Jackson, from the Myerstown church, delivered the evening Bible challenge after a number of reports from national and district organizations.
A special highlight of the evening was a telephone call from Africa in which GBIM missionary Barb Wooler narrated a slide show live by telephone from Bangui, Central African Republic. She and Judy Orme, who was on the platform, represented the Grace Brethren orphan’s ministry in the CAR. More than $1,850 was given in a special offering for the orphan ministry.
