The presbyark.org website has been infected with a virus. Past articles will still link to it right now and you might be able to open it, but it is not safe to download anything from it. We are working on the problem and will let you know once the situation has been resolved. We thank you for your patience.
There will be two more Pastor/Church Professionals meetings during September. We will meet at 10:00am this Friday, September 18 and next Wednesday, September 23. We always use the same presbytery link or number and password. If you have questions, contact Julie at julietannerprice@gmail.com.

Pastors: A Time For Restoring Your Soul |
We have been listening to your cries for help. We know you are tired and you are exhausted and you are searching for something to look forward to that will give you rest for your souls. To that end, we are working on some very small group, socially distanced retreats. We are working with Rebecca Spooner to create a safe place where you can go to discover healing, grace and renewal through reflection, relaxation, and re-connection. We are planning the first event for mid-October and hope to be sending out information soon. Direct questions to Julie at julietannerprice@gmail.com. |
