Leading Together

Session gathered for its stated meeting on Tuesday, March 19, 2024. After approving a replacement water heater for the current model that is twenty years old, the remainder of the conversation was spent on where the church family should go from here. Members of the Committee on Ministry were present to share resources and wisdom for this conversation. The next steps decided upon at this meeting were as follows: (1) that Session will invite the Presbyterian Foundation to meet with them to learn more about how they can help us in better understanding our financial situation and future; (2) the members of Session will be sharing more about their role in the church and their faith journeys with the congregation; and (3) Session will be looking for an opportunity or opportunities for the congregation to have fun together. As your leaders continue to discern God's vision for the future, we ask for your prayers and patience.



Yours in Christ, Binky Moxin, Clerk of Session

From the Pastor's Desk

Dear God,

Please make of my life

what you would have it be.

Time and fate

have twisted things

I cannot straighten out

alone.

Dear God,

may I begin again.

My body

my mind

my spirit

my love

my hate

my pain

my sorrows

my joy

my questions

my fears

my hopes

my visions

I give them all

to you.

Amen


(Marrianne Williamson, Illuminated Prayers)
