CONSTITUENCY AGENDA APPROVED AT APRIL EXECUTIVE SESSION

RMCNews – Denver, Colorado … The second quinquennial constituency session agenda was approved by the Rocky Mountain Conference Executive Committee at their April 12 meeting.

Most of the general agenda items were related to RMC finances. Darin Gottfried, vice president of finance, presented financial numbers for the first two months of 2022. “The financial report for February showed a base tithe decrease of .79%. However, the churches have sent the Conference almost $180,000 in windfall tithe this year, which gives us an increase in total tithe of 3.19% from 2021. Conference Advance giving is down slightly from the year before; I am hopeful that this offering will start to increase,” he explained.

LISTENING FOR GOD IN THE CAFETERIA

Union College News – Lincoln, Nebraska … If you’ve eaten at Union Market in the last four years, you’ve probably seen Jefferson Gibson, son of RMC Planned Giving and Trust associate director Chanelle Watson. The senior theology major serves meals, stocks shelves, and rings up purchases, all with his characteristic easygoing smile. If you ask him what his plans for the future are, he’ll answer quickly and confidently: “I know what my calling is because God has directed me to pastoral ministry.”

Gibson wasn’t always so sure of his path. When he started working at the cafeteria during his freshman year, he was a general biology major. Although he had a passion for biblical studies and ministry, he felt that theology was too big of a task for him to do. However, his roommate, his friends, and even his pastor seemed to think it would be a good fit for him.

Here are four things you can do right now:

1️⃣ Donate at ADRA.org/helpnow
During emergencies, the number one way you can support ADRA International and our humanitarians on the ground is through your donations. Monetary donations allow our team in Ukraine to respond immediately to the specific needs of each community.

2️⃣ Gather in prayer
Matthew 18:20 tells us: "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” We know that there is power and comfort in prayer. We encourage you to attend one of the many vigils being held for the millions who are affected by the crisis in Ukraine, or to start one of your own!

3️⃣ Stay informed
Staying informed is important during times of humanitarian crises. Whether through verified and trustworthy social media channels, digital news, newspapers or your favorite news channel on TV, make sure you tune in to a reliable news source.

4️⃣ Take a break
We are all living through very stressful times and it can be difficult to escape the constant barrage of bad news. It's important to find the balance between staying informed and caring for your mental health! Be sure to take a regular break from the news and even your social media.
