That task is to look at Shifts of Power/Leadership Changes. Some people may see this and think, "Oh, they want to push me out of my job!" But that, of course, is not the case. This is a time for discernment for all members of the congregation. Some people may have held leadership positions for many, many years, and are feeling God inviting them to look at other ways to serve. Others, perhaps newer members of the congregation, are now in a position to offer service in the roles that others are leaving. http://www.parkwaypresbyterianchurch.org/pastor/pastor.htm The senior high youth will be joining youth from other churches throughout the Presbytery for a mystery trip.
