Ready for a great conversation?
We’ve got one for you!
It’s a chance to be part of mining this past year of COVID for bright spots
and then building the future of your church.
Join us for this three-round conversation circle scheduled for:
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2021 from 6pm to 8pm through ZOOM
You’ll connect with different people from throughout the Presbytery for
each round to discuss and get curious about three different topics on what
we’ve learned, what we envision, and how we can accomplish that vision.
The full group will share what bubbled up in the individual conversations and
begin the process of helping the church plan for a vibrant, healthy future.
It’s a great way to hear other’s ideas and thinking (and share your own)
with those who are looking towards the future too!

Hiring, Overseeing, and Firing within the Church

Budgets in a Time of Uncertainty

Finding Ways to Serve as a Senior Citizen

Rick Hastings, our 2021 Moderator shares his vision for the year.
Elder Round Table
Inspired by our “Empowering Elders Beyond Old Routines” Training and by request, there will be three Elder gatherings this spring to continue the conversation.
Each 1 hour gathering will include a check-in, and a short training to help elders grow as spiritual leaders.
Inside-Out Faith
Jesus goes to people and so did the early church.
Instead of asking where all of the people have gone, our churches will be more faithful to ask: where is Jesus going?
Living in community with those who are outside of our bounds is the setting of God’s good news and the context of discipleship.
