Participants Wanted for Community of Ministry and Worship

A fifth cohort of Presbytery of the James’s Community of Ministry and Worship will soon be formed. This group for new ministers meets monthly from August to May, most often via Zoom. If you have been out of seminary for fewer than nine years and want to join the 2022-2023 cohort, contact moderators Gary Charles and Kate Fiedler.

Learn About Hosting Seminary Interns

During February and March, Union Presbyterian Seminary begins coordinating internships for students in the practice of ministry. Small Church Ministry subsidizes and supports interns serving in small church settings. If you are interested in hosting a seminary intern in 2022-2023, two people can help answer questions you may have. Kerra English, pastor at Ashland Church and moderator of Small Church Ministry, has worked with interns for 10 years. Dorothee Tripodi directs the Supervised Ministry Office at Union Seminary. Find contact information for each on the presbytery website.

Invite a Young Adult to Serve

Does your congregation have a young adult (ages 18-30) who would like to explore a year of service in the U.S. or internationally? Many participants in the PC(USA)’s Young Adult Volunteer program report that they heard about the opportunity because someone took the time to talk to them about it. The program is accepting applications for positions starting in Fall 2022. Scholarships are available from POJ’s World Mission Ministry for members of our churches.

On Monday at 7:30 p.m., First Church in Richmond hosts Music for Mission with guests the American Spiritual Ensemble. The vocalists perform dynamic renditions of classic spirituals and Broadway numbers. The program supports the Armstrong Leadership Program, which has benefited students of Armstrong High School for two decades.
