Upcoming listening sessions will include both in-person and Zoom gatherings; some are regional and some are presbytery-wide. \nWho should attend a listening session?\nWe encourage those who are involved in the financial health of congregations to join us at a regional listening session. That might be members of your session\, clerks of session\, church treasurers\, pastoral leadership\, or stewardship and finance committee members.
