The Rev. W. Mark Koenig, Director of the Presbyterian Ministry at the United Nations will be the guest speaker for the Spring Gathering of Presbyterian Women of New Brunswick Presbytery.  His theme will echo that of the 59th Commission on the Status of Women at the United Nations:  empowering women, reducing poverty for women, increasing educational access, improving health care and health access throughout the world.   

First,  Rev. Koenig will do a presentation followed by a question and answer session.  Second, attendees will be given an opportunity to speak one on one during lunch.  You are invited to take advantage of his presence throughout the day.

The Spring Gathering is April 11, 2015 from 9:30 until 2 pm at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 1140 Greenwood Ave., Trenton.  The presentation will be preceded by elections and a business meeting.  Reserve your seat now as space is limited.  Registration is $5 which includes lunch and a continental breakfast.  Reserve your space early by calling Janice Rockmore at 609-882-6137 or Mary Potter at 908-782-8349.  Don't forget to call Mary if you're interested in serving as an officer.

On Sunday, April 26, the Rev. Dr. Mark Achtemeier will preach at Covenant Presbyterian Church at its regular 10:30 a.m. service of worship. Immediately following worship Dr. Achtemeier will lead a forum entitled "A Conversation on The Bible and the Full Inclusion of LGBTQ Christians in the Community of Faith." At the forum, Mark will be speaking about the scriptural journey that led him from being a conservative activist working to oppose gay ordination, to becoming a leading voice for the full acceptance of LGBT Christians in all aspects of the church's life.

Mark has served the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A) for more than three decades as a pastor, theologian, and writer. He is the author of "The Bible's Yes to Same-Sex Marriage: an Evangelical's Change of Heart." John Buchanan, the former moderator of the PC(USA) and editor of The Christian Century wrote, "With his skills as a distinguished biblical scholar, his pastor's heart, and his personal integrity, Mark Achtemeier carefully explores what Scripture says, and does not say, about same-sex relationships and marriage.
