Anne Pankratz Retires as GenOn Board President
Posted by Liz Perraud at
Eight years ago Anne Pankratz was invited to listen for a call from God to serve on the GenOn Board of Directors. We have been grateful ever since for her answer of “yes”! It wasn’t long before another call came to serve an even bigger role—as vice-president. And we were grateful again that she said, “yes.” And then again—as president.

A Small Glimpse of Beauty
Posted by Liz Perraud at
Do we grab opportunities to bridge divides? The possibilities for division of community are numerous: theological, social, generational, racial, geographical, political, and so on.
Parents’ Corner: Bridging Divides
Posted by Tracey Daniels at
Shirley CarlsonLa Crescenta Presbyterian Church If you want to bridge divides, you need to develop good listening skills. Misunderstanding and failing to communicate well can lead to conflict. Not only do we have divides over religion and politics, but also divides within the family, especially among the generations when it comes to parenting styles. When one becomes rigid in their beliefs, problems can arise. Always be willing to listen to the other person’s concerns and seek the truth. This site gives an excellent overview of the differences between the generations from your grandparents to you. Understanding the differences...
