Open Meeting Policy
The Work Of The Church Is Strengthened When It Is Done In A Spirit Of Openness And Trust
The Presbytery of Giddings-Lovejoy Holds Four Stated Meetings Per Year.
There are occasions that will require a Called Presbytery Gathering, but those are rare and for designated purposes.
When the presbytery meets, its voting members include:
- all ministers of the Word and Sacrament who are members of the presbytery
- all elders commissioned by their sessions to attend that meeting
- any elder elected moderator of the presbytery for the duration of his or her term.
Of course, all are welcome to attend and have a voice, even if not commissioned to a voting role.
Featuring Rev. Marthame Sanders
Rev. Marthame Sanders is an Atlanta-based podcaster, producer, musician, improviser, and consultant. A graduate of Yale University and the University of Chicago, Marthame has served in ministry as international mission staff, youth director, and solo pastor.
The meeting will be on Zoom, and all Members are Welcome!
