SeaPres Update: January 31, 2020 (Copy)

Dear friends,

There are two things I can count on in ministry and life in general. 
One: change is inevitable and constant. 
And the second: there’s more I don’t know than I do, and so openness to learn and try new ways of doing things is imperative.

We’re attempting a new way in doing our meetings as a presbytery.

The Executive Board and presbytery staff considered the following question when planning our meetings for 2020: How can we create space and time for us all to come together in order to care for our congregations, leadership, and communities? To do so prayerfully in a manner that would lead us to make informed, caring decisions and in the process, learn and be transformed by the spirit of God amongst us?

So we’re crafting our time together at Presbytery meetings in a new way. We invite you to step into this “pilot” format and experiment with us.

We’ll still have all the elements required for our work together, but it’ll look and feel a little different, hopefully providing participants with yet another way to step into the space of being community together.

I look forward to seeing you the first presbytery meeting of 2020 on February 25 ( 5:00pm) at Northminster Presbyterian Church.In grace and peace,

Rev. Eliana Maxim
Co-Executive Presbyter
