From July 4th to 5th, heavy rainfall resulted in catastrophic flash flooding in the Hill Country area in central Texas. Concerns remain for additional heavy rains and flooding from Hill Country to north Texas.

The sudden floods resulted in more than 100 lives lost and search and rescue is ongoing. 

PDA is in communication with the Synod of the Sun Presbyterian Disaster Network and Mission Presbytery to coordinate a response and assess the needs, including Emotional and Spiritual Care.

The Art of Transitional Ministry offers education in the skills and understanding necessary for leading a congregation and faith community in transition. Week One is designed for persons curious about reflecting on practice, those already engaged in transitional / interim ministry, those who are considering serving in transitional settings, and members of Presbytery staffs, Committees on Ministry, and comparable representatives from denominations beyond the PC(USA). Week Two is designed to help you process your experiences of serving in transitional settings by working together in small groups. It will help you look at your own leadership style and skills.

Spouse track is designed for spouses of either week to learn about transitional ministry and how it differs from a called position.

Basic Transitional Ministry Education consists of 60 contact hours plus a practicum. The contact hours are divided equally between two residency weeks: Week I (30 hours) and Week II (30 hours), separated by a practicum that combines reflection on, and experience in, some aspects of interim/transitional ministry.

The Board of Pensions is providing up to $5000 in tuition fees and travel for clergy who wish to participate in one of seven approved 4-day programs of the Davidson Centre for the Professions to address vocational, spiritual, mental, and physical wellness for clergy. The clergy of Savannah Presbytery have been expressly invited to apply seeing that no one from the presbytery has yet utilized a grant. The program’s mission is to help ministerial caretakers take care of themselves. While on site in Davidson, NC, they will experience individual and small group work (2-4 people) with a variety of professionals including pastoral counselors, spiritual directors, nutritionists, personal trainers, and life coaches. The centre’s goal, over the next 5 years, is to assist all PC(USA) ministers enrolled in Pastor’s Participation or Minister’s Choice, who have an effective salary that does not exceed $80,000 (excluding manse value). Those interested should reach out to Suzanne D. Schilling, director.
