Randy, Leslie, and I have just returned from a productive and stimulating trip to southern California. The purpose of our trip was twofold: (1) annual meeting planning and promotion and (2) networking and connecting with as many ASA members as possible.  In addition to visiting three college campuses (Azusa Pacific University (APU), Westmont College, and California Baptist University), we had individual meetings with several ASA folks and hosted three local chapter gatherings. It was a wonderful opportunity to interact and fellowship with close to 100 like-minded Christians involved in the sciences who share a desire to engage in the faith and science dialogue.

I came back to Boston very encouraged and excited about the important mission of the ASA, that of being a network of Christians in the sciences. God is clearly at work in our midst and we are delighted to be celebrating 75 years of His faithfulness in 2016. Excitement is building for the 75th anniversary annual meeting at APU this July. We've already heard from many who are planning to attend so you will not want to miss this very special celebration event. Please join us if you are able!

As Randy's tenure and our fiscal year are quickly coming to a close, we are pressing hard to the finish line in order to meet our annual fund goals. Thanks to the many of you who have generously given of your time, talent, and treasure this year and over many years. If you have not yet made a gift or are in a position to help again, would you prayerfully consider doing so by March 31? We would be most grateful and appreciative.

Finally, please join us for the livestream event on Friday, April 8 at Gordon College - Randy's farewell and Leslie's welcome reception.

It's Friday but Sunday's coming….May you enjoy a glorious Easter!
