A huge thank you to all who participated in our last presbytery meeting, especially to Lake City Presbyterian Church for their wonderful hospitality. It was so encouraging to see the vision that God is shaping among us. In worship, Rev. Kevin Nollette, Associate EP for Congregations, reminded us of God's covenant love to us in spiritual and tangible examples of people living out this love in the world. We also celebrated and committed new candidates, new ministers, and new transitions to God's care. The change of gears to property issues had a missional element as well, as we approved University Presbyterian Church's purchase of the Union campus (for which we are still praying for a favorable result). Lastly, we concurred with the Synod's plan to reduce it's function in light of the changing mission of the larger church.
Preparations are already being made for our next meeting where we will prayerfully consider together how God might be calling us to Christ's great mission in the world as a presbytery.
Grace and peace,
Rev. Scott Lumsden
Executive Presbyter
