At the February meeting of the Conference Board of Directors, the decision was made to sign the Lease Agreement with Chevron Oil Company (who had bought out Atlas Energy). This will allow Chevron to drill for oil and gas on the Weber Memorial property that is owned by the Penn West Conference. The Committee that was working on the issue was very deliberate in including various items related to protecting the environment and following best practices. More details will be shared as the process continues.

Have your registered for Summer Camp??

Go to www.Livingwaterscamp.org for dates and registration information.

This Special Offering, usually taken during Lent, is used for refugee, relief and development - transforming lives through health, education, agricultural, and emergency relief initiatives in 138 countries. For more information, go to the UCC website at www.ucc.org/oghs/.

The Penn West Conference website is a platform for sharing the mutual ministries and missions (that our churches and members carry forward) of God. Members and visitors will find insights and resources, documents and materials, our resource center and catalog, Ministry Teams, links to local PWC church websites, and more. We are linked to the national site as well as other important ministry sites. As we move forward, we will have Annual Meeting information and registration online.

Combined with the periodic PWC eNewsletter (for current information and updates), churches and members will have greater access than ever before. Moving to electronic media is a challenge for the reader and for the originator. We will learn together how we can become collaborators in God’s Ministry and in God’s Message. Join in this by sending in articles about your church life and all the emails of members in your church.

Blessings! Rev. Char Burch Interim Conference Minister
