There are 3 pre-meeting opportunities, beginning at 2:30:
- Presbytery Meeting Design The purpose of Presbytery gatherings is to fulfill the mission of Presbytery, “Know Christ, Live Christ, Share Christ”, centered in the health, vitality and sustainability of congregations in gathered neighborhoods. During the Presbytery meeting, the Big Picture Team will bring forward recommendations to help us better achieve this purpose. The new model, if approved, has the potential for the Presbytery to live more fully into its mission and ministry. Through quarterly gatherings that are uniquely shaped to satisfy the responsibilities of the Presbytery, as well as, focusing on building up individual pastors and churches, (while enhancing their connections with one another), this model is designed to be a catalyst that sparks more healthy, vital and sustainable congregations and neighborhoods. –led by members of the Big Picture Team
- Intergenerational Ministry With the help of a grant from our Presbytery’s “Healthier Congregations” team, Third Presbyterian Church’s educator, Becky D’Angelo-Veitch was able to participate in a coaching cohort on intergenerational ministry through “Vibrant Faith” as part of a sabbatical this past summer. Join Becky prior to our January meeting for a presentation on the basics of intergenerational ministry as well as a time of sharing and conversation around this topic that seems to be at the forefront of ministry innovation these days. Our time together will include conversation around not only the topic itself, but also recommended resources, ideas for implementation and sharing of participants’ own experiences. –led by Beck D’angelo-Veitch (Third)
- A Look at the Docket – led by Rev. Amy Williams Fowler
