Gina Brown, an Allegheny East Conference member who served on the Columbia Union Conference Executive Committee for nine years, is leaving her position at Howard University (D.C.) this summer to become president of Oakwood University (Ala.).

This fall, the Allegheny East and Chesapeake conferences will join forces—with support from It is Written, the North American Division and the Columbia Union Conference—to host evangelistic meetings in Baltimore. Prior to the meetings, members and volunteers will be working on projects throughout the area to prepare for the event.
One of those projects is a free medical clinic September 25, 26 and 28. Licensed medical and non-medical volunteers are needed to help share the love of Christ in Baltimore.
