As your Interim District Executive, I want to take this opportunity to welcome
Linette Quinn, from the Newville area. Linette has begun her 60 day trial employ-

ment in mid February, to serve as Administrative Assistant to the District Execu-
tive. Both I, Georgia, and the District Executive Committee look forward to a
positive trial period, as we move forward with the ministries of Southern Pa Dis-

trict .

Concerning office hours for the District Office: we continue to work on an un-
structured time frame as both Interim DE and Administrative Assistant work on a
part time basis along with personal schedules. Generally there is someone in

the office from 11:00 a.m. thru 5:00 p.m.; however, if you need to stop at the Dis-
trict Office, please call ahead to insure staff is available to greet and help you.
Thanks for your understanding in this interim time.

Georgia Markey, Interim District Executive

This is a story shared by one of our District Pastors and it seems most appropriate for all in our

Churches—Your interim DE~Gerogia

The death of President Franklin Roosevelt abruptly thrust Harry Truman into the presidency. He traveled to

Capitol Hill to address Congress, and, at the end of his speech he said, “As I have assumed my heavy duties, I humbly
pray Almighty God, in the words of King Solomon:: “Give me, thy servant, an understanding heart to judge thy peo-
ple, that I may discern between good and bad, for who is able to judge so great a people as your own?”

That’s not just a prayer for kings like Solomon or presidents like Truman. It’s a prayer each of us can make as our
own. James 1:5 tells us to ask God for wisdom. We’re living in days that call for insight—for much wisdom and dis-

cernment—because the lines between good and evil are heavily blurred by our culture and society.

As we provide leadership in our Churches and intermingle with one another, with seemingly endless indications that
we are quickly approaching the end times, let us learn to ask God for constant discernment and wise judgement and

treat one another with patience and love.
