Don’t Forget to sign up for the Upcoming Pastors’ and Leaders’ Breakfast…
If you think you already know about The Worm Project, there is much more to it than de-worming children around the world! On Thursday, November 17, 8:00 – 10:00 a.m., join us at the Mennonite Conference Center in Harleysville for an enlightening breakfast and presentation entitled, “God Worming a Way Into our Conferences.” Claude Good, Volunteer Staff for The Worm Project, and Merrill Moyer, a member of The Worm Project board, will join us for enlightening presentation and conversation about how we, the people of Franconia and Eastern District Conferences, stand to gain much from our involvement in this work.
Seminary announces discounts for online courses and spring class offerings:
Tuition will be cut in half for first-time online students at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary in a new arrangement that will begin with spring semester. To be eligible for the discount, students must be taking their first online course from AMBS and must not be enrolled in any theological education program. The 50 percent discount is for tuition only, but registration and online course application fees will be waived; student service fees will be charged. Two online courses are offered from AMBS for spring 2011:
- Biblical Foundations of Peace and Justice, taught by Mary Schertz, professor of New Testament;
- Turnaround Strategies for Churches, taught by Gerald Shenk, sessional instructor.

The opinions expressed in articles posted on Mosaic’s website are those of the author and may not reflect the official policy of Mosaic Conference. Mosaic is a large conference, crossing ethnicities, geographies, generations, theologies, and politics. Each person can only speak for themselves; no one can represent “the conference.” May God give us the grace to hear what the Spirit is speaking to us through people with whom we disagree and the humility and courage to love one another even when those disagreements can’t be bridged.
