Dr. David W. Bowser Reelected as District Superintendent
Among all the business of Mission Advance, a vote on the reelection of our district superintendent was taken on Monday morning, April 9. Dr. Bowser received a 96% favorable vote to continue to serve for the next four years. His report to the Assembly was a "windshield" view of the initiatives and vision he has for this district. One of the memorable comments was, "Missional movements are born on the margins; monuments are built in the middle."
"Amazing Things" was the theme of Mission Advance, and many amazing reports were shared about God's movement across this great district. A special "Thank you" to general superintendent Dr. David Busic for his leadership and poignant messages.
We celebrate the ordination of eight individuals ordained as elders in the closing service of the Assembly, with several others receiving their first district ministerial license, and five ministers receiving retirement status.
