The Presbytery of the Upper Midwest met at Christ Presbyterian Church in Edina on Friday evening, August 23 and Saturday morning, August 26 with nearly 50 people in attendance. It was a great time of worship, fellowship and fun. If you have never attended a meeting of the Presbytery of the Upper Midwest make your plans now to attend next August.
Here is what some of our leaders said about the event:
Moderator Rev. Dr. Petey Crowder - "It was fun to see new and old pastors and leaders connecting and sharing. I was reminded that Presbytery plays a crucial role in connecting our staff to the larger denomination."
Vice-Moderator Rev. Judie Ritchie - "I loved the way we could connect with each other over meals, laugh together during the teaching, and generally enjoy fellowship. I am especially grateful to colleagues who come from long distances to reinforce the bonds we have in ECO."
Stated Clerk Elder Doug Dahl - "It is great to see old friends at these meetings and to meet new people who will become old friends."
The ECO National Gathering is for pastors, elder, lay leaders, spouses, seminarians and students, staff teams, covenant partners and those interested in learning more about ECO. This gathering is beneficial for your entire leadership team and anyone involved in your local church. There is an immense opportunity for growth and bonding when you come to the gathering with others from your congregation! Take free time during the week to plan and pray, get to know others serving in similar church settings, or just hang out, have fun and make memories together!
