Presbytery news  
 
Abbreviated EMerge this week;
full version returns next week
Emerge Logo Little This week, in response to unexpected requirements on available staff, EMerge is limited to a summary of the January 20, 2018, meeting of the Presbytery. EMerge will return next week with its full complement of news and information. 
 
We encourage you to look back to last week's EMerge for ongoing information like the Citizens United luncheon next Wednesday; the Presbytery Mission Trip in April; and the last public worship service for the Presbyterian Church in LeSueur takes place this Sunday at 1:30 p.m.
 
We thank you for your patience.

Community and Commitments:
A summary of the Jan. 20 meeting
 
By Jeff Japinga
Presbytery Executive
 
Community and Commitments might be the two words that best summarize the work of the Presbytery of the Twin Cities Area at its stated January 20 meeting.  Embedded in those two words are details and actions largely shaped by the work of our committees and members.
 
We formed ourselves in community though opening worship, led by moderator the Rev. TJ Parlette, and a choir and men's quartet from our host church, Trinity Presbyterian Church in Woodbury. Guided by a Psalm and a call story from the gospel of Mark, we asked ourselves what might hold us back when Jesus calls us.
 
The complete summary can be found at "Community and Commitments."
