From your Moderator, Charlotte Powers

(Continued from the e-monarch Messenger, April, 2010)

• What is the greatest gift God has given to you? Do you use that gift?
• How have you used God’s gift in the Presbytery?
• How well do you know your colleagues in Christ, the pastor or lay person sitting beside you?
• What do all our churches have in common with each other
• Why do several of your fellow pastors not attend the Presbytery meetings?
• Do we reach out to them and invite them to attend?
• How do we unite as one in the Body of Christ?
• Do you serve on a Presbytery Committee/Commission?
• What is the mission of Presbytery?
• Is there a division amongst us? Can we not respect that others have differing points of view?
• How do we as individual churches and the Presbytery support small churches?
• When do we gather together to pray for each other and our fellow Presbyterians around the world?
• How do we work together to grow our churches?
Once again, how do we become one in the Body of Christ?
I would love to hear from you with your thoughts about these questions. Call or email me to talk to me at the upcoming Presbytery meeting. Just remember… “In life and death…. We belong to God.”
