Presbytery Meeting Re-Cap

February 24, 2025

Greetings Olympia Presbytery

How delightful it was to see so many of you at Bethany Presbytery Church last week!

Together we welcomed new members, installed Rev. Aaron Stewart as Moderator and ruling elder Kathy Marshall as Vice Moderator, we respectfully discussed and approved amendments to the Book of Order, learned about new resources for ministry, painted our response to the Word, and enjoyed a delicious meal and celebration of Communion.

Thank you Bethany leaders for your warm welcome. We’re grateful for your hospitality and kindness.

~ Shari on behalf of a grateful presbytery

PASTOR Questionnaire FORM

Have you ever pondered Jesus’ words about visiting and freeing the prisoners? How do we as disciples faithfully follow those calls to action? One Parish One Prisoner offers a two year journey of relationship with one person coming home from prison. As this relationship brings us closer to the world of prisons, we glimpse resurrection. Join us for our quarterly Zoom Office Hours to ask questions and learn more: Wednesday, February 26 at 5pm! Join here: bit.ly/OPOPoffice
