Upcoming Presbytery Trainings
Listening to God, Even When We Don't Wanna - Workshop with Graham Standish
On Saturday, October 11th from 9:00am-2:00pm at Dayton Glade Run Presbyterian Church, we are hosting Rev. Dr. Graham Standish from Samaritan Counseling Center for a one day workshop. Graham was instrumental in working with Team Hope on our new structure plan.
We live in a world of too much information, conflicting beliefs, & changing values. Meanwhile the very places that ground us, our churches, are declining. How do we discover & do what God wants, especially if it may not be what we want? This day long retreat will give us the spiritual skills & perspectives to help us:
This workshop is free of cost to you & a catered lunch will be provided. Register Here.
Mandated Reporter Training
A reminder that the Book of Order does require that elders, ministers, & volunteers (Sunday school teachers, VBS workers, anyone who is working directly with children) every 36 months (G-3.0106). This is a change from the past, when it was every 5 years, which is still the requirement for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Mandated Reporter training takes about an hour & a half. There is the option to do Zoom for these. The Zoom link will be emailed to all registered participants.
If your church would like to have a training, please contact the Presbytery Office to get it scheduled.

- Pay attention to God's presence so we experience God in our churches & lives
- Listen for God's clear voice in a noisy culture, especially with our church's future
- Let go of what we want to follow what God wants for our churches & our lives
- Let go of fears, guilt, shame, doubts, control, & more so that we can do God's will above all in our lives & our churches
