We look for you March 4 for the Peter Condition.

Lent can be serious, Lent can be sad
Sometimes in Lent we feel guilty and bad,
What if our Lent helps to push back the night,
What if our Lent helps to add to the Light?

This year we are exploring levity in lent by acknowledging that in our human condition sometimes we don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

We are following the stories of Peter as the disciple whose responses and reactions to Jesus can help us to lighten up about ourselves in a meaningful way.

Minutes for Mission 2018: Fresh Start - Our gifts for Mission & Service support new ministers.United Fresh Start is a program offered by the General Council Office through trained presbytery-based facilitators. The goal of the program is to nurture the pastoral relationship between a minister and key congregational leaders, especially at the beginning of a pastoral relationship after a new minister is called or appointed. Over two years, a facilitator works through pieces of the United Fresh Start curriculum with the minister and key congregational leaders to facilitate effective leadership, cooperation, mutuality, creative problem solving, and potential reductions in conflict.
