BECOME A PRESBYTERIAN PANELIST
|
|
From the PCUSA website:
Presbyterian Research Services is inviting YOU to join a list of potential Presbyterian Panelists!
Since 1973, church leaders have turned to the Presbyterian Panel to learn more about the beliefs and practices of Presbyterians. By joining this list, you will be added to a group of people who are willing to answer occasional surveys that may help Presbyterian entities, congregations, and others make informed decisions and reach their goals. It is important that the group of panelists we select represents Presbyterians as a whole. We are also interested in extending our panel to represent those in new worshiping communities, new immigrant fellowships, and new expressions of worship! All surveys will be available in English, Spanish, and Korean. If you are interested in serving on the Presbyterian Panel, please answer the following demographic questions to help Research Services select a representative sample of Presbyterians: http://eepurl.com/bfUuIb If you are selected to become a Presbyterian Panelist, you will be sent a welcome letter with further details. If you are not selected right away, Research Services will keep you on a list of potential Panelists for the future. You can unsubscribe from this list at any time.

THE CHURCH HAS LEFT THE BUILDING
|
| Last year several churches in our presbytery (Flemington, Hopewell, Mt Airy, Stockton, Bound Brook & Titusville) joined in this large ecumenical effort and had a great experience. We would encourage our fellows to consider sending someone to the introductory meeting to learn more about it!
Here is the invitation:
"One Sunday morning last fall churches of different denominations in several states left their buildings to bless their communities through an unbelievable number of mission projects. When they met that night to worship Jesus it was like a taste of heaven.
This year I invite you and the people of your congregation or ministry to link arms with us for
Living Outside the Box: The Church Has Left the Building 2015. There will be an introductory meeting at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, April 22nd at Woodside Presbyterian Church - 1667 Edgewood Road, Lower Makefield, PA. Come, bring some leaders and learn about it. There's no obligation to sign up, we're not selling anything, and
we don't charge anything to be part of this. You can choose any Sunday to leave your building.
To sign up for the April 22nd introductory meeting
Click Here. Please feel free to forward this email to other pastors. To learn more watch this two minute video by

Yours in Christ,
