The mission of Seattle Presbytery is to participate, in word and deed, in God’s transforming work through the Gospel of Jesus Christ: †by strengthening the witness and mission of our congregations and members and by building strong partnerships with each other and the larger Christian community.

February 19 Update from Eliana Maxim

Seattle Presbytery

“In our own time, we affirm that, in the power of the Spirit, 
the Church is faithful to the mission of Christ as it: 
Proclaims and hears the Word of God….Administers and receives the Sacraments… 
Nurtures a covenant community of disciples of Christ,
 living in the strength of God’s promise and giving itself in service to God’s mission.”
Book of Order F-1.0303

Dear friends,

Despite social distancing, we are still called to be in communion with one another, and to journey together in our ministry as a presbytery. I give God thanks for the faithful leaders throughout our congregations who also serve in a variety of capacities in the presbytery: on the Executive Board, COM, CPM, committees, task forces, administrative commissions, and more. The work of being a mid council is ongoing, and ever changing. These elected bodies have continued to meet regularly throughout the pandemic and remind me of God’s providence in placing the right people at the right time and place to seek God’s will. They also remind me that being church is so much broader than we sometimes think.

This coming Tuesday, February 23 at 5pm we have the opportunity and blessing to gather together for our Presbytery meeting via Zoom. Please be sure to register and read the accompanying reports in preparation for our time together.

We’ll be hearing about the ongoing work of the presbytery in a variety of ways, as well as celebrate the ministry and legacy of Mt. View Presbyterian Church, hear about the Virtual Trip to Colombia, pray with and for one another, and spend time in Holy Conversations around the Executive Board’s commitment to the presbytery’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) assessment. 

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.” 
I look forward to seeing you at the Presbytery Meeting where we can dedicate ourselves to being the faithful community that gives of itself to God’s mission!

In grace and peace,

Rev. Eliana Maxim
Co-Executive Presbyter
