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

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.

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 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!
