Farewell to Corey Schlosser-Hall
Photos from Corey’s 15 years as Executive Presbyter. Poem “When We Paddled Upon the Waters” by George Pasley. Music by Jean Chaumont (song, Renewed Perspective, from album, The Beauty of Differences). And for anyone interested in trying Ted Lasso biscuits presented to Corey, here is the recipe.
Worship.
We began with prayer, ended with communion and conducted business in the middle. Corey Schlosser-Hall preached, John Van Deusen, Director of Music, Worship & Arts from Whidbey PC led our singing, and our newly elected co-moderators, Revs, Becca Niemeyer & Matt Paul hosted the Lord’s Supper. What a celebration!
S.L.A.M. Trips - Mending Wings
Annaweinita Miller, SLAM Trips Director for Mending Wings, a Covenant Mission Partner of NWCP, shared from the heart about this opportunity for young people to come to the Yakama Nation Reservation to learn and serve.
Concurrence with Overture 005
The NWC Israel-Palestine Network hosted a workshop with former General Assembly moderator, Rev. Dr. Fahed Abu Akel, a Palestinian Christian sharing from his personal story, and the NWCP approved concurrence with Overture 005. The 3-minute video above was shown at the workshop.
