SUMMARY:Stewardship and Generosity Listening Session
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nTuesday\, March 25\, 2025\nSouth Region Zoom\nOnline Only\nfrom 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM \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

Upcoming listening sessions will include both in-person and Zoom gatherings; some are regional and some are presbytery-wide. \nWho should attend this listening session?\nThis session is designed for those serving in specialized ministries beyond the walls of the church.

This session offers a dedicated space to hear your perspectives and experiences. \nUnderstanding the distinct contributions that specialized ministries bring to our shared vision of stewardship and generosity\, we encourage you to participate—whether you are engaged in the financial health of these ministries or serve in various ministry contexts. Your insights are vital to this conversation. \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.

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? Is preaching on election topics okay? What about holding a voter registration event or driving folks to the polls? Join leaders from Texas Impact for a practical\, action-oriented conversation about ways churches can play a role in democracy\, without risking their nonprofit status or their credibility. 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:Innovator Gathering - Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 18\, 2025\nZoom (bring your dinner!) at 7:00 PM \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. Bring your questions\, your curiosity\, your imaginings… whether you have a big idea or not\, there is room at the table (or on the zoom call) for you! We need to hear your voice\, understand your challenges\, and celebrate your successes. These gatherings are intended to be generative and relational\, a place of connection. If that sounds like something you are interested in\, we would love to see you! \nPlease register for the in-person or zoom gatherings so we can know who is joining in.
