Fall programming is under way in our churches and here in the Presbytery, we'll be offering a few discussion groups that you might be interested in joining:
The Presbytery's Lectionary Study Group that meets weekly on Tuesdays, would like to remind everyone that next Tuesday, October 7, the group will help the Rev. Gus Nelson with a critique of the outline of a book, Why Bother with the Church? The group will meet from 9-10 a.m. at the Presbytery of Des Moines office in Urbandale. (This will be before our normal lectionary text discussion time at 10:00 a.m.) The outline is online for your review.
Attend the Brown Bag Planning Event for Advent. Those interested in planning for the Advent season experience are meeting Tuesday, October 14, 12:15 p.m. at the Presbytery Office in Urbandale. Bring your own lunch and let's put our heads together to plan some great events for this holiday season here in the Des Moines Presbytery. We'll look at the lectionary text and any ideas that you bring along to share. For any questions and to RSVP, contact Rev. Mark Davis at 515-770-5601 or markdavis@heartlandpresbyterian.org. (If this date doesn't fit your schedule, please let Mark know.)
Finally, Communications Director Kim Coulter would like to remind everyone of the Lunch and Learn Series at the Presbytery office. The next gathering will be Thursday, October 16, from Noon-1 p.m. We'll be discussing annual reports and the do's and don'ts of these yearly documents. This is just in time for our session committees planning their year-end reports for their church members. Bring your lunch, reports and questions and we'll offer support and help as well as beverages.
Hopefully, we'll see you at the Des Moines Presbytery office, 2400 - 86th Street, Ste. #20, Urbandale, IA 50322 in the next few weeks!
