The next Stated Meeting of the Presbytery of Lake Michigan will be held at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, March 13, via electronic meeting technology.

The meeting will focus on “Reflecting Together the Mission of Christ.” The morning session will include presbytery business and worship with communion conducted via a Zoom webinar. The afternoon session will include break-out discussion areas in a Zoom meeting where participants will engage in dialogue about specific questions:

1.     How has “reflecting the mission” changed for congregations? How has it changed for the presbytery?

2.     What changes have been beneficial? What changes have been detrimental?

3.     What has stayed the same? What should not have stayed the same? What should stay the same?
