Around the Synod

“To know in my spirit that we are a crowd standing together in witness is encouragement to my soul.”

Everything we do is done because we are gathered in unity to follow Christ and live out his Great Commandment to love God and love our neighbors as ourselves.

Walking a mile in 95-degree heat was the highlight of a day filled with memorable moments.

“We stand with those who are oppressed, those who are hurting. It made me proud to be a Presbyterian.”

All told, eight of the 11 overtures/resolutions coming from the Synod were discussed today.

Hands-On Mission Work Group of the Presbytery of Detroit looks forward to welcoming mission work groups during the summer or for an alternative-break week during the school year.

When we take collective action in some areas, it is not always (nor should be) a reflection of something upon which we all agree.

If we bring all that we are, our honesty, our past, our humor, our imagination and our love of Jesus, committee time can be holy time.

“The church is the movement of God taking grace into the world.”

All in all, it was a busy, but productive full day of committee discussions and deliberations.
