This is an invitation from the Synod of South Atlantic to join with them in worship and prayer on Saturday, October 12th at 1:00pm ET. This will be a time for storytelling and prayer for those who have been lost, those suffering, and those responding. Since publishing this letter, the worship will include victims of Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
Friends,
Hurricane Helene has had a tremendous impact on people throughout this synod. Ten of our sixteen presbyteries have sustained damage to some degree. Assessment of the impact is still ongoing and of course, we are aware of the impact this has had on our siblings in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
The synod’s Executive Administrative Commission has made the decision to postpone the Stated Meeting and instead offer October 12th at 1 pm (Eastern Time) via zoom as a dedicated online worship & prayer service. It will be a time for storytelling and prayer for those who have been lost, those suffering, and those responding.
Registration is necessary and this gathering is open to anyone throughout the denomination to attend. Please share this information and registration link with anyone interested.
Representatives from Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, Florida Disaster Assistance Network, and South Carolina Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Team will join us with an update.
We come together embodying the grace and love of Jesus Christ, caring for our communities, and God’s people.
In Christ,
Valerie Young
Synod Executive & Stated Clerk
