After Lunch: Taking care of Clergy-folk

Pastors and CREs: How can we – the presbytery – take better care of our pastors? The Moderators are interested in finding ways our presbytery can increase our ability and capacity for clergy care, and we invite you to come and share the good stuff – the times in your career when you had a positive, well-timed, well-tuned experience of care and support from the presbytery in which you were working. IT can be little stuff, or big stuff. Just asking you to share a personal experience of when your presbytery got it right.

We’ll try to convene about 30-ish minutes into lunch time in a room or at a table. If you are attending the presbytery meeting by zoom, and would like to share a time when a presbytery got it right, send Sue an email: sueharrismail@gmail.com
