Commissioner to Presbytery Listens and Responds!

First (Tifton)’s Elder Commissioner to the February meeting was impressed by two things — the large commitment the small church of Elmodel made in hosting and the summons during the skit to remember the 30th Anniversary of the Presbyterian Women.
 
He then began thinking about his own strong suite ( cooking and smoking meat ) and the strong gifts of the PW. What emerged from his reflection was a variation from Tifton's usual third Sunday of every month fellowship meal; what emerged instead was a celebration— with birthday cake! — and some really fine picnic fare.
 
In the picture below, you will see the women, the cake, and the ongoing melding of all the women who worship in the Tifton sanctuary. This photo includes the women of the ELCA congregation that is nesting within.
