Dear Friend, As we are starting to see glimpses of fall here in Boston, the ASA office is humming with much activity. If you or one of your family members are heading back to school, we pray that the year ahead will be filled with God's blessings amidst the challenges. Let's also hold up in prayer those suffering from the losses in Afghanistan and Louisiana. Now that the dust has settled from ASA 2021, we are in full gear planning fall events including Brown Bag Lunches, Diving Deeper Discussions, the Winter Symposium, and ASA 2022. John and Vicki have several fall trips planned and they look forward to connecting with you. Please check out this NewsNote for the multitude of ASA activities taking place around North America. Joyfully in Christ, The ASA Team: John, Vicki, Lyn, Becky, Dana, and Mark

|  | | Member Corner ASA Fellow Gregg Davidson and Kenneth Turner will release The Manifold Beauty of Genesis One in October 2021.The premise of the book is that the depth and richness of the creation story is often lost as battles are waged to defend a single understanding at the expense of all others. Instead, the authors make a case for multiple complimentary layers, each highlighting a different aspect of the relationship between God and his Creation. To purchase a copy, click here.
