To ALL Members of the DenPres Community,
Buckle your seat belts and hang on to your hats, there is a lot of exciting work going on in Denver Presbytery. Working under a new mission, vision, and values approved by the Assembly in September, the Lead Presbyter Nominating Committee is hard at work narrowing down a list of strong candidates, and the Council has commissioned our Task Force to review the current administrative structure of committees and workgroups (we are calling them “agencies”) with the goal of proposing a new, more efficient structure well aligned with our mission, vision, and values.
One of the 8 new values of our Presbytery is Letting Go. As we move to the next phase of life in Denver Presbytery with the possibility of some notable changes, we want to practice this value of letting go. To help exercise this value, we are scheduling a series of listening sessions, open to anyone in the Presbytery. These sessions will offer an opportunity to surface and express any past disappointments and hurts or major concerns related to your experience in the Presbytery. We cannot promise to “fix” the past, but we do promise to listen. Our prayer is that through listening, a wider path is opened for healing and leading by the Holy Spirit.
We have scheduled three sessions that will be conducted by Zoom and one session that will be in person. To help manage the size of these gatherings, we are suggesting a grouping by faith communities, as detailed below, but you are welcome to attend the session that is most convenient for you. You will be hearing more about this soon, but for now please mark your calendar if you plan to attend one of these sessions. And, of course, contact any of us on the Agency Task Force if you have questions.
Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish far more than all we can ask or imagine. Ephesians 3:20
