Dear Friends,
Fall greetings from the ASA office! This November we are focused on God's goodness and faithfulness to the ASA over the last few years during the pandemic. We are especially grateful for our members engaged in the interface of vital faith-science questions and living out their calling from God in service to society, science, and the church. Please check out this NewsNote for the multitude of ASA happenings taking place around North America. Joyfully in Christ, The ASA Team: Janel, Vicki, Lyn, Becky, Dana, Michele, Hannah, and Mark
