Elder Training
Jan 5, 2019
9:30am

Has God called you to serve as an elder in your church for the very first time?  Or are you a currently serving elder but would like to ‘brush up’ on what it means to be a spiritual leader in your congregation?  If so, you are invited to a morning of elder training.  This training might be especially helpful in congregations where there are only 1 or 2 new elders in any given year.  This will allow you to:

          -look at some of the Biblical responsibilities;
-explore Book of Order expectations;

          -come to know some neighboring elders who are engaging   leadership in their congregations;

          -have the opportunity ask questions and ponder this calling in your life.

Two identical training events will be held:

Saturday, January 5, 9:30 AM, Presbytery wide elder training, Church of the Cross, Erie

Saturday, January 12, 9:30 AM, Presbytery wide elder training, First Church, Warren

All are welcome!  New elders!  And experienced ones! Contact administrative assistant Melinda Wingenbach ([email protected]) if planning to attend (though you would be welcome even if you don’t register.)
