The 227th General Assembly of the PC(USA) is almost upon us. Click HERE to view a helpful Guide to see what overtures will be before the Assembly and to follow their work as it unfolds. The General Assembly is, in the fullest sense, a gathering of sisters and brothers in Christ from across the PC(USA), chosen by their presbyteries to prayerfully discern and carry out the work of the church. Because we are part of this larger body, the decisions they make matter to us and shape our life together in faith. Please keep these sisters and brothers in your prayers during this time of discernment and decision making.

Rev. Dr. Craig Howard's Blog

We had a wonderful Presbytery Assembly at Palatine Presbyterian Church two weeks ago. The assembly began with a gathering of bagpipers who processed and performed down the center aisle.
