Stated Clerk Notes
In this week's Stated Clerk Notes, Laurie Palmer asserts that when we say we are "Better Together", it's because YOU are the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

In what ways are YOU being called for the common good? Read more in this week's Notes.
Sallie's Ponderings
Sallie write that the view from 20,000 feet (or even 5,000) is often very inspiring, seeing how God is at work throughout the presbytery.

The view from the ground, however, can be "neither shiny nor fun." The conflict and animosity that people can and do feel towards one another bring us to a basic ask: Please be kind to one another.

Read more from Sallie, and Paul's letter to the Colossians, in this week's edition of Ponderings.
