From Synod of the Sun, PC(USA) ... 'Liminal Conversations' This Thursday: "How is the Diminishing Impact of our Churches and the Death of many Churches Affecting our Presbyteries and Churches Emotionally and Spiritually?"

Amidst the changes and chances of the COVID-19 pandemic, churches and entities throughout the The Synod of the Sun found ways to not only survive but also find unique and beautiful ways to minister to God's people in need. Mission and ministry takes form in supplying basic necessities, or caring for the environment. Connections have been made via video feed and blankets. Love is supplied via learning how to read and drive-in diapers.



Living in Liminal Space returns this Thursday!

Living in Liminal Space: A Conversation Seeking Wisdom on the Way, on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of every month at 10:00 am (CT) via Zoom

The conversation this Thursday, November 9th, will be with Fran Hilton Shelton, founder of Faith & Grief Ministries. The topic will be How is the Diminishing Impact of our Churches and the Death of many Churches Affecting our Presbyteries and Churches Emotionally and Spiritually?

For twenty years, Fran served PC(USA) congregations in Texas, primarily in pastoral care and was affectionately called “Funeral Fran” by the love of her life and last husband, Bob. She has the courage to take deep finesses in duplicate bridge, stamina to be a member of four book clubs and a spirit for life that sparks contagious laughter.

What Is Living In Liminal Space?

Living in Liminal Space: A Conversation Seeking Wisdom on the Way.
On the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of every month at 10:00 am (CT) via Zoom
The Zoom link for each event can be found on the appropriate day on the Synod Calendar at: https://www.synodsun.org/calendar
These conversations are hosted by Steve Shive, Bridge Synod Leader for the Synod of the Sun. Some of the time there will be conversation around focused questions.

Some of the gatherings, there will be an informed presenter followed by Q&A. This may evolve and it may emerge into something else.

These conversations are for everyone – disciples and seekers of all ages, roles-ministers, elders, and members from the Synod and beyond. There will probably be few definitive answers and more exploration of unknown lands. The conversations will promptly end by 11:00 am (CT).
