SUMMARY:Stewardship and Generosity Listening Session
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nWednesday\, March 26\, 2025\nat the Collin County and North Dallas Pastor Lunch\nBentwood Trail Presbyterian Church\n6000 Bentwood Trail\, Dallas\, TX 75252\nat Noon \nA new vision of stewardship and generosity in Grace Presbytery  \nIn September 2024\, at the stated meeting of the presbytery in Waco\, representatives from the Budget & Finance Committee\, along with the Rev. Josh Kerr\, Ministry Relations Officer with the Presbyterian Foundation\, presented a new vision of stewardship and generosity in Grace Presbytery. In our work and witness as Christ’s church together\, we are seeking to equip churches with the tools needed to grow a culture of generosity\, grow in our connectional church relationships\, and strengthen funding for local and regional ministry. The plan to implement our vision includes: listening sessions\, financial health analysis\, education with experts\, regional opportunities\, and local church support. We are excited to announce that the first phase of our shared vision begins now!  \nYou are invited! Please join us for an upcoming Stewardship and Generosity Listening Session \nThe first phase of our plan calls for listening sessions focused on stewardship goals\, challenges\, and practical ideas for churches in different contexts. We will listen well and take notes that will be used to plan resourcing and learning opportunities throughout the rest of 2025. 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. As we share this vision and work together\, we hope to engage with as many congregations as possible. \nFinancial Health Assessments\nThe first phase of our plan also invites churches to complete a Financial Health Assessment\, a tool provided by the Presbyterian Foundation to help congregations better understand their church’s financial health. This assessment is best done by a church treasurer\, clerk\, pastor\, or finance chair. It is helpful\, but not required\, to complete this before attending a listening session. \nYour presence and perspective matter! We hope to see you soon at one of our listening sessions. We are better together! \nIf you have questions about the listening sessions\, please contact Christopher Lee\, Josh Kerr\, or your Regional Ministry Associate. \n\nChristopher Lee\, Executive Presbyter\, chris@gracepresbtyery.org\nJosh Kerr\, Ministry Relations Officer\, Presbyterian Foundation\, joshua.kerr@presbyterianfoundation.org\nLisa Wraith\, North RMA\, lisa@gracepresbytery.org\nJudith March-Hardie\, South RMA\, judith@gracepresbytery.org\nMichele Goff\, East RMA\, michele@gracepresbytery.org\nSharon Curry\, West RMA\, sharon@gracepresbytery.org\n\nWhat are the goals of the Finance and Generosity Listening Sessions? \n\nTo hear the stewardship and sustainability challenges Grace Presbytery churches are facing with specificity.\nTo listen well and take notes that will be used to plan resourcing and learning opportunities throughout the rest of 2025.\n\nIf you have questions about the events\, please contact your Regional Ministry Associate or Josh Kerr. \n\nLisa Wraith\, North RMA\, lisa@gracepresbytery.org\nJudith March-Hardie\, South RMA\, judith@gracepresbytery.org\nMichele Goff\, East RMA\, michele@gracepresbytery.org\nSharon Curry\, West RMA\, sharon@gracepresbytery.org\nJosh Kerr\, Ministry Relations Officer\, Presbyterian Foundation\, joshua.kerr@presbyterianfoundation.org

SUMMARY:Innovator Gathering - In Person
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 18\, 2025\nIn Person Lunch at Noon\nBJ’s Brewhouse\n2609 S Stemmons Fwy\, Lewisville\, TX 75067 \nREGISTER FOR JUNE EVENT \nWe have learned that folks often see these gatherings and think “I don’t have a big idea” or “I don’t feel called to start a new church”\, and they self-select out (thinking that they don’t consider themselves an “innovator”) and don’t come. So we want to issue a NEW INVITATION that hopes to add some clarity about these gatherings: \nYou\, yes YOU\, are welcome and wanted here. Join these gatherings if you are hungry for creativity and collaboration. Join these gatherings if you are wondering about the work of innovation and new ministry development.

SUMMARY:Stewardship & Generosity Conversation: North Region
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nSeptember 30\, 2025\nTuesday at Noon\nGrace Presbyterian Church \n4300 W Park Blvd\, Plano\, TX 75093 \nYou are cordially invited to gather with your presbytery colleagues for a time of fellowship\, prayer and to hear a special presentation from Rev. Christopher M. Lee\, Executive Presbyter\, regarding stewardship and generosity within the bounds of Grace Presbytery. We hope that you will join us in celebrating God’s abundant provision for the ministries of Grace Presbytery in 2025 while we look forward to 2026! Our shared ministry unites us and bears witness to God’s desire for justice\, mercy\, and love. \nAs we consider our shared ministry\, I am reminded of the words of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who once said\, “Whatever affects one directly\, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be\, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the inter-related structure of reality.” Our time together will include a conversation on the importance of the continued support of our shared ministry. All are welcome to join us.\nFood will be provided so we kindly ask that you RSVP. \nIf you have any questions\, please reach out to Tammy Stepka\, Coordinator of Office & Ministry Support\, via email at tammy@gracepresbytery.org or by phone\, (214) 393-5607.
