Presbytery of the Miami Valley
An eUpdate for Church Leaders - October 2021
POAMN National Conference
To be held virtually October 26-28, 2021
The Presbyterian Older Adult Network (POAMN) conference will be virtual again this year. There is a great list of presenters and there is always lots of energy and excitement, even being virtual.

This year’s keynoter is advocate for older adults, Missy Buchanan, who is an internationally recognized author and speaker on issues of aging faithfully, drawing from her personal experience as a caregiver for her own aging parents. She has appeared twice on Good Morning America with co-anchor Robin Roberts who describes Missy as “the rare soul that understands, truly understands, older adults: their fears, struggles and hopes.”


The Third Thirty Network of Presbytery of the Miami Valley can support a limited number of scholarships.

To request a scholarship, please email Janet Miller at janetoptimist@gmail.com AND Chris Pomfret at cjpomfret1954@gmail.com .

APCE Annual Event February 9-12 in Chicago
For all Presbyterian Christian educators,
pastors, volunteers, and their faith communities

The Association of Presbyterian Christian Educators (APCE) circle of faith will gather February 9-12 in Chicago to welcome new people into the circle, to celebrate the great cloud of witnesses that formed the first circles, to reflect on broken circles and those excluded from circles, and to imagine ministries beyond the circle gathered to our neighborhoods, our cities, and the world.

The 2021 APCE in-person Annual Event was postponed because of the pandemic and replaced with a very successful first-ever virtual APCE Annual Event, “Anything but Ordinary Time.”

In 2022 APCE will celebrate with the in-person event “Circle of Faith: 50 years + one and beyond” of connecting, enriching, empowering, and sustaining the ministries of educators, pastors, volunteers, and their faith communities. The Annual Event hopes to explore and challenge one another to seek and build upon God’s grace-filled, ever-widening Circle of Faith.
