The Special Issues Committee will hold a conversation on Tuesday, July 12 from 7-8:30 PM at the East Main Church in Grove City on denominational issues. There will be two parts:
- A presentation by Dr. John Burges and discussion of what we believe about Jesus Christ and how this relates to denominational issues.

Christian Speakers
A great line-up of Christian speakers will be coming to New Wilmington, July 23-30. Take a look at the schedule and add the dates to your calendar. 2011 NWMC Speakers and Schedule. All of the programs at the New Wilmington Mission Conference are free and open to the public, and you are welcome to attend as many as you are able.
It is NOT too late to register to stay on campus. Are there junior high, high school, or young adults in your congregation that might like to spend a week on the Westminster campus meeting other youth from all over the country and hearing about what God is doing in the world? The cost is $340 and includes food, housing, program costs and registration. Offer them a church scholarship and register by June 30 to save the late fee. Your church will be blessed by their experience. Don’t miss out on this opportunity right in our backyard. For more information, visit http://www.NWMCmission.org.
Perspectives
Perhaps you’ve heard about this internationally taught course? Westminster College is hosting the Perspectives on the World Christian Movement course for 14 weeks Tuesday nights this Fall. What a great opportunity to take it so close to home. One of the things that makes this course unique is that each week a different instructor will present the lesson incorporating his/her experience. The course costs $275 for the certificate level which includes weekly reading, homework and a final project. ($550 for 3 undergraduate credits) It may be used for Act 48 and CEU credit for teachers, continuing education for pastors and just a great way to learn more about the Bible and God’s Plan for the world for everyone else. The Shenango Presbytery is offering some scholarships. Send a team of 3 or 4 from your church and see what happens as they learn together about God’s unfolding purpose for His people. Visit the website www.perspectives.org to learn more or to register. It will also be offered in Franklin on Sunday evenings and at PTS in Pittsburgh on Monday evenings in case you have to miss a Tuesday class. Save $25 by registering before August 12. Contact Pam Pope Courtney if you have questions. (724-748-3217 or mail@dcourtney.net)
