News You Can Use

NY13 Volunteers Needed – Beginning in April 2013 the Atlantic Union, North American Division (NAD), and General Conference will launch a seven-month series of evangelistic meetings in the greater New York City area called NY13.

Since this is a division-sponsored event with speakers and volunteers converging on New York City from all across North America and beyond, the Atlantic Union is inviting women’s ministries groups from all over NAD to participate in the event – starting this fall. They are especially interested in community outreach, including God in Shoes; health ministries; enditnow outreach to the community; and other events to acquaint communities with Seventh-day Adventists. They are also looking for women to preach evangelistic series between April 1 and October 31, 2013.

If you or your church or conference women’s ministries group is interested in going to NYC to participate in NY13 in any capacity, please send the following information to Lois King, Atlantic Union women’s ministries director, at lking@atlanticunion.org:

Your name or group name
Number of persons involved
Where you are from
Type of activity you are willing to engage in
Your experience in this area
Dates you are available
Contact information

The Atlantic Union NY13 staff will screen all applications and decide when and where their services can be used.

NOTE: There is no budget to assist volunteers, so you must be willing to pay your own expenses.

We hope that many of our sisters from across the North American Division will help out our sisters in the great New York area to spread the gospel to the vast mission field of New York City.

Adventist Single Adult Ministries Convention is being held May 25-26, 2012, in Denver, Colorado. Speakers include Derek Morris (GC Ministerial Dept.`), Carol Barron (NAD Adult Ministries), and Claudio and Pamela Consuegra (NAD Family Ministries). To register visit www.areflectionofhim.com or call 800.732.7587.

What Women Spend – According to the 2009/10 Consumer Expenditures Survey, single women's spending varies greatly according to their ages. See if you can match the age to the spending. Answers are below.

	Age		Expenditure
a)	Under 25	1)	Audio visual equipment
b)	25-34	2)	Charitable giving
c)	35-44	3)	Clothing
d)	45-54	4)	Education
e)	55-64	5)	Food away from home
f)	65 and older	6)	Health care
		7)	Personal care products
		8)	Shoes
		9)	Sweets
		10)	Fruits & vegetables
		11)	Transportation

So do women really get sweeter with age? Do younger women really care more about their shoes matching their outfit? How does your spending compare (or not) to the study findings?

Answers: 1=e, 2=f, 3=b, 4=a, 5=b, 6=f, 7=c, 8=c, 9=e, 10=d, 11=d.
