SUMMARY:Next Church Roundtable Discussion: Politics and the Pulpit
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nLEARN MORE About Roundtable Conversations with NEXT Church\nTuesday\, June 10\, 2025\nfrom 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM\nvia Zoom\nGrace Presbytery was invited to sponsor a Next Church national Roundtable Conversation on Politics and the Pulpit. What are the rules and regulations about “political activity” in churches or religious organizations?

Learn about the “Faith Votes” model\, find toolkits and resources\, hear stories of successful faith-based democracy-strengthening programs…and make your plan to step into the public square with confidence! Leaders for all states and contexts are encouraged to attend.

SUMMARY:Planned Giving Event
DESCRIPTION:LINK to FLYER\nLINK to REGISTER\nSeptember 9\, 2025\nfrom 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM\n(Lunch Included)\nGrace Presbytery Office\n6100 Colwell Blvd.\, Ste. 100\, Irving\, TX 75039\nJoin Karl Mattison and Josh Kerr from the Presbyterian Foundation for a presentation and conversation on Planned Giving. They’ll share the numbers and trends and explore: \n\nThe Great Wealth Transfer: What is it? How big is it? How has the Presbyterian church fared?\nThe Challenge for my Church: Feeling squeezed out\, but actually having a competitive advantage.\nA Simple Plan: It’s easier than you think. Walk out the door with a simple plan and the tools to implement it.  You will have the resources to build your own plan\, a planned giving page\, brochure\, and communications plan after this presentation.\n\nHere are some reasons why planned giving is critical to your ministry: \n\nPlanned gifts are the largest gift of a lifetime.\nGivers are younger than we expect.\nMore PCUSA churches are receiving them in recent years and in substantially increasing values.\nIn the wealth transfer\, it will increase by multiples.\nPlanned giving increases annual giving.\nIt is relatively untapped.

SUMMARY:Winter Retreat
DESCRIPTION:December 19 – 21\, 2025\nLEARN MORE & REGISTER HERE\nGilmont Camp and Conference Center\n6075 State Hwy 155\, Gilmer\, TX 75644 \nJoin us for your favorite camp activities as well as a few special winter games and treats! Campers decorate cookies\, carol around the camp fire\, and build their own “snowmen.” We can’t promise snow – but we can guarantee it will be a good time! \nLast year’s Winter Retreat theme – Light The Way – focused on the Advent Candles of love\, hope\, joy\, and peace. Candles provide light and warmth and show us what is around us. Similarly\, love\, hope\, joy\, and peace provide us wisdom and guide us as we live out our faith in the world. As we prepared to celebrate the birth of Jesus\, we also considered what the Advent season teaches us about right and faithful ways of living. \nRight before Christmas\, Winter Retreat is the perfect opportunity to get the kids out of the house for last-minute Christmas shopping or can be gifted as an early Christmas present to grandkids\, nieces and nephews\, and other younger family members or friends.
