Presbyterians Gather in St. Louis for the 223rd General Assembly

Presbyterians are arriving in St. Louis from Presbyteries across the country and partners from around the world for the 223rd General Assembly.  All of Lake Michigan's commissioners have arrived safely.  Two of our Inquirers, Daniel Van Beek and Theresa Larson and one candidate, Ashley Bair are here also, along with Fran Lane-Lawrence, Eileen and myself.  I haven't yet seen Ailih Weeldreyer, our Young Adult Advisory Delegate (YAAD). YAADs have their own orientation events.

The Committee on Local Arrangements welcomed us with a reception with food and music as we greeted acquaintances.  Denise Martin and Laurie Hartzell are seen here enjoying the music.

You can sign up to receive the Assembly News Posts and watch live stream events at https://ga-pcusa.org/   Opening worship, a must watch is Saturday, June 16 at 11 a.m.  You also can access all the overtures and Assembly business at PCBiz at that link.
