The Presbytery of Nevada had to postpone it’s in person meeting, but we still wanted to meet together. Part of the Zoom festivities hosted by our moderator was a toast she asked me to give. From our Zoom meeting on Tuesday, March 9, 2021.

Introduction: Gratitude

Pastors: you had our first year ninistry…again.
I’m grateful for Your creativity and flexibility
Elders: as you all became homebound
I’m grateful for your patience, connection, and forgiveness

History: Love
We are here together apart
Like we have gathered in storms
Of nature and convictions, 
Amidst disagreements and disappointment,
for we know God is with all of us and loves us all.
Story: Welcome
We have chartered a church, installed a Pastor,
welcomed Kate as Presbytery Pastor,
and without being asked
sent “no strings attached” checks to congregations.
We find a way to be faithful and connected
Thanks: Moderator
Thanks to Moderator York, 
Council, Committee Chairs and 
Members, Commission members
In year like no other
a Toast to a Presbytery like no other!
The Presbytery of Nevada!
