A Message from our Presbytery Moderator about our upcoming HYBRID Assembly

Dear DenPres Community,

Our Assembly Workgroup is pleased to announce that we will hold our first-ever Hybrid Assembly for our May Assembly meeting on May 24. Wellshire Presbyterian has graciously agreed to host us and has already begun troubleshooting and planning for the challenges of a Hybrid Meeting. The Hybrid Assembly will allow those who are able to meet together at Wellshire Presbyterian Church for fellowship and a worshipful assembly. The Hybrid Assembly will also allow for those who need to remain safer at home, or those whose travel is complicated by weather or road conditions to join us via Zoom. It is absolutely your decision whether to attend in person or to join us through the Zoom meeting platform (link provided at registration), but please be aware:

  1. If you are joining via Zoom this time you will need to join from a smart phone, computer, or tablet that has a camera equipped. We will not be admitting those with phone numbers and no picture to enable our voting by Zoom poll and so that we can verify your identity. If camera functionality prohibits your virtual participation, please contact the DP Office so we can facilitate your participation.

  2. If you are a Ruling Elder Commissioner, please register as such under the name of your representative congregation. Not sure if you’re the Ruling Elder Commissioner from your congregation? You become so through a process where your congregation’s session votes, electing you to serve as a commissioner either per month or for the year. Then your clerk or pastor submits the name of your congregation’s commissioners to our Stated Clerk, Rev. Olivia Hudson (PS: A reminder to pastors to please submit their congregation’s commissioners for 2022)!

  3. For voting purposes:

    1. In person voting commissioners will be given green (“yes”) and red (“no”) cards at the Assembly welcome table.

    2. All online participants will have four options for each Zoom Poll: “Yes,” “No,” “Not a Voting Member,” and “Abstain.”

We thank you for your continued flexibility as the Assembly Workgroup discerns how best to facilitate and make available participation in Denver Presbytery Assembly!

Peace in Christ,
Paula, Moderator of Denver Presbytery Assembly
