Webinar for Ruling Elders and Deacons | |
Ruling elders and deacons are invited to join a webinar just for them on March 30. The webinar shares a deeper understanding of worship and these leaders' roles in settings such as the Service for the Lord’s Day; services of ordination, installation, and commissioning; the extended service of communion; and other ministries of compassion and care with those who are sick, homebound, or hospitalized. David Gambrell, associate for worship in the PC(USA)’s Office of Theology and Worship, will lead the conversation. Registration ends March 23. | |

Staff help make the summer camp a success while making a lasting impact on the life of a child. | |
