Dear Presbyters,
This is a reminder that there will be a special Pre-Presbytery meeting tomorrow on the 2010 Budget of the Presbytery of the Twin Cities Area. The meeting will take place at 8:30am on Saturday, September 12 at First Presbyterian Church, 909 South Marschall, Shakopee, Minnesota, 55379. PTCA Treasurer Jim Payne and David Colby, Chair of the PTCA Budget Task Force and Pastor of Central Presbyterian Church in St. Paul, will be on hand to present the budget and answer any questions you might have. A copy of the proposed budget can be found at the Presbytery Packets page or it can be downloaded directly by clicking on this link.
Dear Presbyters,
In accordance with Book of Order Form of Government Chapter XI, Section 2, (G-11.0200) and the Bylaws of the Presbytery of the Twin Cities Area (Article I), the Presbytery will meet in Regular Stated Session on Saturday, September 12, 2009, 9:30. a.m., at First Presbyterian Church, 909 South Marschall, Shakopee, Minnesota, 55379. Directions to the church follow this notice.
An orientation for new pastors, and elder commissioners attending for the first time, will begin at 8:30 a.m.. A time of hospitality and fellowship, hosted by the Church, will begin at 9:00 a.m., as will registration.
The response to the changed format for the Presbytery meeting was generally positive. Therefore, Council is continuing the practice of framing the meeting within a Reformed service of worship. Moderator Jin S. Kim will preach the sermon at the September meeting, followed by the Celebration of the Lord’s Supper.
Please be reminded that the Minutes of the July Presbytery meeting will be posted online, but not printed for the packets. Please download to print any portions that may be of interest to you.
Presbytery Council will present the selected theme for the year, “Affirm Local Congregations: Build Spiritual Energy Through Nurture”. The Six Great Ends of The Church will provide our guide, as one of the “Great Ends” will be the emphasis of each Presbytery meeting. At this September, 2009, meeting, the second Great End, “The shelter, nurture and spiritual fellowship of the children of God” is the theme for the day. Each meeting agenda will include a time for small-group discussion, with proposed questions and resources
Lunch for 175, at $7.00, will be available. Tickets will be sold in the registration area.
The Presbytery office staff is trying very hard to be certain that anyone who may be interested in knowing of the meeting receives this Call. An expanded address list is being followed, and some may receive two notices, especially if your name appears twice in the Gray Directory. If we are notified, we will continue to update our list as we proceed. All church members within the Presbytery are welcome to attend the meeting. Each session should be very sure to be represented by the assigned number of elder commissioners who have voice and vote. This is the way to have the voice of your congregation heard on the floor of Presbytery.
Directions to the church follow. There is ample parking.
Grace and Peace,
Nancy E. Grittman
