600-Plus Participate in 31-Day Bible Reading Challenge

Members of the Ohio Conference and Allegheny West Conference (AWC) began 2022 with a renewed focus. Led by presidents Marvin C. Brown, III (AWC) and Bob Cundiff (Ohio), members joined together for the second annual 31-day President’s Bible Reading Challenge.

A monthlong journey through the Bible is a fast-paced overview of the Great Controversy from beginning to end—a different interaction with Scripture than typical daily devotional study. Readers must put away most other books and TV in order to accomplish the pace of covering around 39 chapters per day.

Story by Michelle Greene

After more than 20 years of serving at the headquarters of the Columbia Union Conference in Columbia, Md., Harold and Christine Greene are retiring March 1.  

Prior to working at the Columbia Union, Harold worked as an educator for 19 years—many of those years as principal and science and math teacher at Pennsylvania Conference’s Huntington Valley Christian Academy (formerly Greater Philadelphia Junior Academy). Christine also served there, as the coordinator for the Christian Playcare Center.

Their passion for education created the opportunity to work at the union.
