                           Upcoming Presbytery 2nd  Zoom Meeting on  February 10th, 7pm

The purpose for this Presbytery wide meeting will be to discuss the two upcoming proposals that we are asking you to vote on at the Spring Presbytery meeting at the University of Jamestown on Saturday, March 21, 2026. This Zoom meeting will be an opportunity to hear the proposals and financial information, ask questions, give feedback, and engage in group discussions ahead of the Presbytery meeting.

First Proposal:  The Presbytery of the Northern Plains seeks a relational and pastoral leader to serve as Executive Presbyter. This role is centered on connection, care, and encouragement, helping to strengthen the life of our churches and pastors while fostering unity across the presbytery.

Second Proposal: Congregational Vitality Grant Program. The Congregational Vitality Grant Program provides financial support to churches within our Presbytery for projects that strengthen and enhance ministry. By investing in congregations that are actively engaged in mission and growth, the Presbytery seeks to nurture vibrant communities of faith and extend the witness of the church.

Our Church Growth Consultant, John Fong, has a zoom meeting scheduled for Saturday, January 31st at 11 am.  The zoom link was emailed out.  If you have questions or need the link again – please contact Pastor Bob.

FEBRUARY ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL AGENDA

We will be watching the Right Now Media presentation of “Starting Point” hosted by Andy Stanley.  Here is a brief description:

   Everything has a starting point-your life, your relationships, your education, your career.  Sometimes we forget that faith has a starting point as well. For some of us, our faith journeys began in childhood as a set of beliefs handed to us by a parent, teacher, or pastor. Maybe you developed a framework of faith based on personal experience. Or maybe you had not faith at all. Too often, a faith formed in childhood isn't strong enough to withstand the pressures of adult life.

But what if you could find a new starting point for faith?
