Greetings.
For those of you who were unable to attend last Saturday’s presbytery assembly, you were missed! We worshiped God in a traditional service in the First Presbytery Church of Stroudsburg’s beautiful sanctuary, and I was privileged to preach. If you’re interested in reading my sermon, you can find it in the previous post “Taking A Chance On Change“.
After worship we gathered around tables for an exercise designed to help congregations begin to consider what God might be calling you to be and do going forward. At the end of our conversation I asked about resources that would be helpful to congregations. Someone asked about grants and loans available to help churches in their mission and ministry. Following is a list of links for grants available through the presbytery, synod, and PC(USA).
