It feels like 2020 never ended.  Yet 2021 is here and we are moving forward.

The Presbytery of Northwest New Jersey official starting date is coming closer and we continue to take steps toward being prepared for that date.

The Book of Order describes the responsibilities and powers of a presbytery as the “corporate expression of the church within a certain district and is composed of all the congregations and ministers of the Word and Sacrament within that district.

A Presbytery is first a community of congregations focused on the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ.

Being a community does not just happen. To be a community the members of the community need to build relationships, get to know each other, have conversations, and develop partnerships.

The members of the Northwest New Jersey Presbytery are invited to continue the work of building relationships on Saturday, January 23 starting at 10 am. The Presbytery of Newton invites all to join them for the January Presbytery meeting and  to spend time having conversations in small groups.  Elise Bates Russell, director of Johnsonburg Camp will be our conversation facilitator.  We will also begin the year with worship and the sacrament of Holy Communion.

You do not need to be a commissioner from your church to participate. You do however have to register. The Login information will be sent to you.

More gatherings and information will be available soon.
