At the Providence Annual Meeting
in June, the CFTS board admitted five new students to the
CFTS program. Our new students are representative of the diversity in
our Association churches. Some come to ministry as a second-career
and others almost directly from undergraduate school. I would like to
introduce them to you.

Western Theological Seminary, Holland, MI. Lisa attended Michigan
State University, graduating Cum Laude with a Bachelors of Science
degree and Magna Cum Laude, with a Masters degree in Speech Pathology.

and scrap-booking.

When you have the opportunity,
welcome them, encourage them, perhaps even mentor them as they follow
the path of their call to be set-aside for service to the one who binds us
all together.
THE NANews IN AN ELECTRONIC AGE
Currently, the NANews is posted to you by bulk mail, meaning not only a lapse of two to three weeks before
you receive it, but also the expense of postage and handling. At the same time, the
NA News has been available online in
a timelier manner at www.NACCC.org since September, 2000. By the end of 2004, the NA News will be mailed
only to churches. Individuals who wish to receive a printed copy after January 1, 2005, must contact us by phone
or email at naccc@naccc.org.
