ACCW Awards Reception

ACCW 10th Anniversary Celebration 

President Glenn Palmberg opened our time together at the ECC Mid-winter Conference by bringing a greeting as he shared his support of women in pastoral ministries. Dr. Mimi Haddad, president of Christians For Biblical Equality, brought greetings also on behalf of their organization. The mood was high as members began a year-long celebration of 10 years of ministry on behalf of clergy women.

Our keynote speakers were our past presidents, Rev. Nancy Gordon and Rev. Jolene Bergstrom Carlson. The theme for our time together was, "In Her Own Words". Each president shared the climate of the denomination and the association during their time as president including the stories of challenges and victories faced and experienced during their terms in office. It was an exciting time of fellowship and of honoring women who have served in leadership of this association.

A special highlight of the reception was the awarding of the seven beautifully handmade clergy stoles that were donated by Covenant women to our association to raise funds for the ACCW Awards Program. The silent auction of these clergy stoles began at the ACCW business meeting on Monday and the stoles were awarded at the end of the reception.
