Mission Council Listening Session
2025-05-27 18:30 - 19:45 | South Plains Presbyterian Church, 410 Black Cat Rd, Keswick, VA, 22947, United States
Mission Council invites minister members and church leadership to listening sessions around the Presbytery of the James to build community and reflect on our life and ministry together as a mid-council. We are hoping to get to know our neighbors and learn more about what church leaders are hoping for as we prepare to call our next General Presbyter.
Please RSVP for each individual attending the below sessions, and invite other leaders from your congregation and region to join us, too! We invite you to bring your own dinner and arrive as early as 6 p.m. to enjoy one another’s company.
Sessions will be hosted by Colleen Earp (TE, Massanetta Springs), Dave Thomen (RE, Summit), and Joel Morgan (TE, Member at Large).
Questions? Contact Colleen Earp.
