Covenant Trust Company (CTC) would like to extend an invitation to pastors, staff and lay leaders of churches in the Northwest Conference to join them for lunch on Thursday, April 25, at 1 p.m., just prior to the start of the Ministerial Association Annual Meeting at Minnehaha Academy. 

CTC representatives, Kevin Lawson and Steve Allison will be hosting a catered lunch from Famous Dave's with guest speaker, William Moucka, Director of Investments and New Business Development at Covenant Trust. It will be a great opportunity to hear about the history of CTC and learn about the services offered to individuals, churches and other organizations. A specific focus will be made on the new Endowment Services that are offered through CTC and how your church can utilize the services of CTC to establish and run your own endowment. 

CTC values the partnership with the Northwest Conference and the ministries, churches and pastors that are part of it.  If you are interested in finding out more about how we can partner with your church or ministry, please contact Kevin Lawson to register for this complimentary lunch and presentation. RSVP to kelawson@covenanttrust.com or 1-877-222-3960.  Space is limited, so please register early.


Julie Jane Capel, ACCW Board Member, invites members of the NWC ministerium to join her during lunch on Friday, April 26, following the Ministerial Association Annual Meeting, for fellowship and the sharing of information on how we can strengthen support and advocacy for women clergy in our conference. 

 

The NWC's annual high school urban mission and service weekend is focusing on Invisible: Who are you not seeing? Students will be challenged to see the invisible around them: invisible people, invisible injustices, invisible peers.
 
Amy Williams is speaking and JonCarlos Velez and his team are leading worship. For more MOVE details, registration info, poster, etc., visit our MOVE page. Registration deadline is Thursday, March 28. 

 

 

Do you have a high school student leader who is ready to be challenged to grow in his/her leadership abilities? Nominate 1 or 2 of your key leadership students for AIL. This amazing leadership development experience affirms the leadership potential of students and captures their imaginations on how God can use them as leaders. Because of its impact, other ECC conferences are now looking to replicate the AIL experience for their students.  

 

If you're interested in being an AIL leader, contact Jon Kramka. Promo and application materials are now available on our AIL page.
