PA Academy of Ministry will be conducting a 3-part educational series called Consistory/ Council 101 on Sept. 15, Oct. 6 and Oct. 27 from 10a to 12 noon. The 3 sessions are titled: (Sept. 15)-Making Our Church Meetings Effective, (Oct. 6)-Pastor and People Working Together and (Oct. 27)-Connecting Beyond Ourselves.

Consistory/Council Presidents should place this on their upcoming agenda for consideration. This course will be presented via LIVE STREAM to locations in EACH of the Penn Northeast, Penn Central and Pennsylvania Southeast Conferences where groups of laity can join together in viewing the presentations and participate in discussion questions. Click here for a registration form so your group can receive the link to the event. An email will be sent to registrants with locations where groups can be found in your area.

In a climate where churches are struggling to remain open or remain financially secure, we know that a well-educated leadership is crucial to that goal. We hope that you will consider this course for your Consistory or Council so to encourage vitality and strengthen an already vibrant leadership in our local churches.
