Don't Worry. Be Happy.
Crisis Averted
Twman started Pray At The Pump meetings at petrol stations in April. Since then, the average price of what the US calls gasoline has fallen from more than $4 a gallon to $3.80.
Pray At The Pump plans to build on its success and drive gasoline prices even lower. In the words of Rocky Twyman: "We just thank God for blessing us with small victories and we expect greater things to come."
And while we're on the subject of gas...
Don't Worry; Be Happy - Matthew 6:34"We don't have anybody else to turn to but God," says Rocky Twyman. "We have to turn these problems over to God and not to man."

Beardless
There's a Disturbance in the Force.
We've spotted a disturbing trend in the Brotherhood. While it's been a long time since anyone's seriously expected to see a head covering or a Brethren beard on any given Sunday morning with any kind of regularity, you could always count on those few outré young adults who hold on to the old ways. You could count on spotting a few at Brethren gatherings such as NYAC or Annual Conference and they always brought a warm fuzzy feeling to your insides. Whether it was the sincerity or outrageousness it was a welcome pillar to the foundation of the Brotherhood.
Well, they're becoming more scarce. When before, for example ,you could count on spotting the odd Brethren beard amongst those studying at Bethany it now seems that there's less hirsuteness to be found on those hallowed grounds. All too soon it will all be a memory.
Have you seen me?

2008 Manchester RYC
300th Anniversary Update: Manchester RYC Will Not Celebrate Anniversary.
The Regional Youth Conference (RYC) 2008 won't be held at Manchester (Ind.) College in April 2008 and is not being planned as a celebration of the 300 years of history of the Church of the Brethren. The theme will not be, “Cherishing the Tradition: The Church of the Brethren, 300 Years of Faithfulness,” with Mark 12:30-31 as the focus scripture.
A line-up of Brethren musicians and story tellers will not lead the conference. Musicians will not include Michael Stern, Andy and Terry Murray, or Peg Lehman. Jim Lehman will not be the story teller. Other stories will not be brought by people involved in current church programs, videos of Brethren ministries, or people representing Brethren from history. The weekend will not include worship experiences or concerts.
Students in grades 6 through 12 are not invited to register or attend; neither are adult advisors or youth volunteers. Other interested adults are not invited to attend concerts or story telling times. Registration packets will not be available in January.
