WEEKLY PRAYER FOR UOVP PASTORS. Select one of these pastors and remember him/her in your prayers this week: Ian Leyda, “:Mac” McCuen, Byron Mc Elroy, Susan McMannis, and Deborah Messham.

WORLD COMMUNION SUNDAY OCTOBER 4 “All who eat and drink without discerning the body, eat and drink judgment against themselves.” (I Cor. 11:29)The first Sunday in October is designated as World Communion Sunday, which celebrates our oneness in Christ with all our brothers and sisters around the world.  Paul tells us that we are to “discern the body” when we partake of Holy Communion, mindful that we note our relationship to all our brothers and sisters in Christ in the celebration.  One is not to go hungry while another is drunk! (I Cor. 11:21).  This is scandalous behavior opposed to the Way of Christ.  Thus it is appropriate that World Communion Sunday is also a time when we receive the annual Peace and Global Witness Offering as a way of continuing the ancient Christian practice of sharing what we have with brothers and sisters in need.

WORSHIP SURVEY RESPONSE

Thank you to the churches that responded to the survey on Virtual Worship. Here are the results to our informal survey. We currently have 80 churches.

10 Churches are livestreaming on FB, blog, YouTube. Facebook Live is the most popular. Several shared that there have been some challenges with YouTube displaying their videos.

15 Churches are uploading prerecorded or recorded services.

25 or more of our churches have Facebook Pages or groups.

Some of the churches shared they were broadcasting services from their church parking lot, emailing/mailing sermons out, calling and visiting with church members during these pandemic times. We all have different types of congregations, church structures and internet reliability. It’s wonderful to hear how people are finding ways to share the Gospel and Connect!

 

LIVESTREAMING WORKSHOP

The Training and Development Committee sponsored an in person educational event on Saturday September 19th from 10 - noon at Stone Presbyterian Church in Elk Grove WV and had about a dozen people come and collaborate on ministry online. Thank you for the facilitators of this event.


PASTORAL CARE COMMITTEE

Attention to all Those in Ministry.  As many of you know, the Presbytery is currently using Zoom for Presbytery meetings, and committee meetings.  This media is also available to you to have contact with you mentors, your peers, and your friends. Your Pastor Care Team is concerned that you are not, during this unprecedented time, getting the contact you need with each other.  If you have an interest in getting together with some of your friends, or getting to know some of your peers, please contact Cindy James, she and Christine will make arrangements to put some of you together. Cindy’s email: alcindaj@netzero.net  phone: 330-532-5747

 

ZOOM

Have you zoomed yet? Wondering how to zoom? There are several good handouts on the Presbyterian Older Adults Ministry Page on how to start and to host a meeting. You need an email or you can dial into a meeting. Clubs, Families and Organizations are using this platform to continue to connect, learn and share during this pandemic. https://poamn.org/zoom-resources/ Control+Right Click

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE ANNOUNCEMENT

The Training and Development Committee is sponsoring an in person educational event on Saturday September 19th from 10 - noon at Stone Presbyterian Church in Elk Grove WV.  The name of the event is: Everything you always wanted to know about livestreaming your service but were afraid to ask!”

 

The premise of this event is simple: Having a church presence on a social media platform is essential for the future life of the church.

 

If you want to livestream your service but don’t know how to get started, this event is for you.  If you are currently livestreaming your service and want to know what others are doing, this event is for you.  If you are livestreaming your service and everything is going perfectly, you are lying and this event is for you.

Presenters will be George Crawford, Jason Elliot and Robert Nagy.  It would help if we had an idea of how many people will be attending so please call or email the Presbytery office or call Stone Church (304) 242-4610. We hope to see you on the 19th!

 

Peace Making Committee Announcement

On the first Sunday in October,   which is the fourth, we will be able to give to the Peace and Global Witness Offering of our church.  This is special because we can provide some help to all levels:  local, synod, national, and international.  25% of this offering will be used locally;   another 25% will go to the synod or mid council; the final 50% will go for work and reconciliation being done by Presbyterians nationally and around the world.

What are examples of this giving?  One way would be to give to the Peace and Global Witness offering of our local church. 25% of that offering could go locally to food pantries and clothing places; supporting the unemployed; helping children with learning problems; tutoring kids at all levels.  The next 25% of the offering for us will go to the synod or mid council of the Trinity, which includes all of Pennsylvania, part of Ohio, and the northern part of West Virginia. Then, as we said above, the final 50% will go to help persons nationally and internationally.   

 

We need to be sure to do the following: Ask our sessions to take up the Peace and Justice Offering and to set dates for it.  Ordinarily, this offering is taken up on the first Sunday in October.  But, it can be taken up on another date.  Then, this offering needs to be supported by the whole church. 

 

May God bless you, as you give time to this worthy undertaking?  For, God is a God of shalom, of true peace.
