| Press Release May 1, 2012  The Interchurch Resource Center (IRC) is pleased to announce the appointment of Rev. Debra Avery to the position of Resource Assistant, effective May 1, 2012. Debra received her BA from the University of Northern Iowa, her MS in Education from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and her Masters of Divinity at Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg. She has served congregations in Yonkers, NY, Springfield, IL and Paradise Valley, AZ. Debra is currently seeking full-time ministry in the greater Phoenix area. While serving on several important committees, she has recently been elected as a Teaching Elder Commissioner to the denomination’s 220th General Assembly, PCUSA by the Presbytery of the Grand Canyon. Debra is very familiar with on-line and printed Christian publications and sources, and as an active pastor has often sought out and used these resources in serving her congregations. She brings excellent computer skills to her IRC assignment that will enhance the stated direction of our shared ministry in the Resource Center. We are confident that Debra will be a valuable asset as we transition our center to better serve the needs of all of our people. |

The Interchurch Resource Center receives materials from United Church Press and United Church Resources each year. Samples of the curriculum are available.Online catalog
