Congregational Identity Worship--August 13 & 14

The Session invites the entire congregation to participate in “Telling Stories Around a Campfire” identity workshops Aug. 13 and 14 from 6 pm to 9 pm.

Join us as we take an important first step on our journey to finding a new pastor. On consecutive evenings, Rev. Dr. Carson Mouser will be leading us in an abbreviated process to determine “who we are” and whom we are seeking as pastor.  This is your opportunity to actively participate in determining the future of our church, so we need you to commit to attending both evenings. 

Reverend Mouser, recently installed as the pastor at Summerville Presbyterian Church, has special training in the area of interim ministry and will engage us in a conversational approach during the workshops.  He will be joined by Elder Anne Bishop, our liaison from the Committee on Ministry of the Presbytery, who will help facilitate the discussion.

Please join us for this critical conversation.  A light dinner will be provided each evening beginning at 5:30. 

Please RSVP to:  Cassandra Carlsen at derrickmnt@frontiernet.net or 356-4851 by Sunday, August 10^th. 

We look forward to seeing you at this important church event.

Best to all,

The Session
