Synod of the Pacific Gathering & Assembly 2024

This fall we had two gatherings with our friends and colleagues in the Synod of the Pacific. At the Executive Presbyter and Stated Clerk Gathering, we shared resources, discussed how our presbyteries operate, and how we can support each other. Then we gathered at Zephyr Point with delegates from each presbytery to discuss synod business. At the  we also learned about the mission grants that Synod gives towards emerging needs, medical ministry, and projects shared between presbyteries. Relationship building, discovering new ideas, good fun, and spiritual nourishment were part of both gatherings s and we look forward to joining our Synod siblings again next year.
