Rest strong in the truth that you belong to God.
Dependency on God combines God’s action and human action into experiencing God’s kingdom. Lean on God as we prepare to elect the Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC).
Here is an update on our Journey to the New Pastor.
- The Session receives The Strategic Plan (Mission Study) at its Stated Session Meeting, Monday, November 18.
- November 2024-January 2025 the Nominating Committee finds Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) members.
- The Session can call a Special Meeting of the Congregation in December or January for the election of the Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) depending on the Nominating Committee’s progress.
- Currently, the PNC slate is scheduled to be elected at the Annual Meeting on Sunday, February 23, 2025. The Strategic Plan is also presented for discussion.
- The PNC begins its work in January, February, or March, depending on when the Congregational Meeting for the election of PNC members occurs.
Now is the time for each one of us who call Grace Presbyterian Church their home and family to reach out to others who may be looking for a better way to live. Advent, a time for new beginnings, is two weeks away. It is the truth that Jesus Christ was born to change the world one life at a time.
Read the benediction below (benediction, in Latin, means, “good word”) written by the late Richard Halverson, Minister of Word and Sacrament (PCUSA), and Chaplain to the United States Senate (1981- 1994).
You go nowhere by accident.
Wherever you go, God is sending you.
He has a purpose in your being there.
Christ who indwells you has something he wants to do through you wherever you are.
Believe this.
And go in his grace and love and power.
Amen.
Remember, nothing in your life, and Grace’s life is an accident.
On the journey of Christian discipleship and spiritual formation with you, I remain faithfully yours,
Steve
The Rev. Dr. Steven M. Marsh
