     The Rev. Arabella Meadows-Rogers has taken office as executive 
presbyter for the Presbytery of the Northern Plains, effective June 1. 
     She has been very visible in a leadership role in the presbytery's 
flood relief efforts since her election April 17.  Meadows-Rogers, who was 
previously pastor of Grandin (N.D.) Presbyterian Church, will be working 
out of her home in Moorhead, Minn., until July 1, when the presbytery 
office is anticipated to be ready for occupancy.
