Calvin College accepting applications for summer seminars
Seminars @ Calvin College is hosting grant-funded summer seminars in 2013 and are seeking qualified applicants who are "passionate about first order scholarship and pursuing their work as a Christian calling."
Because the seminars are grant-funded, there is little cost to participate - mostly travel to Calvin College and some food while participants are there. The grants cover the cost of housing, books and materials as well as some meals and a few social events.

NWC Ministry Priorities series
View, embed and share our new videos on Vimeo
Our 2012 Annual Meeting included the debut of three new videos highlighting the Ministry Priorities of the Northwest Conference. Each video features interview segments with church staff, lay leaders and pastors, intermixed with animations of statistics and key statements designed to help explain each priority.
The videos are designed for use throughout the year in church new member classes, services and other adult education opportunities to help congregations better understand and engage the work of the NWC. The delegates from each church left with a DVD copy of the videos, and the series is available on the NWC web site's video page (www.nwc-cov.org/resources/videos) and Vimeo Channel (http://vimeo.com/channels/northwest).
