Presbyterians attending the 223rd General Assembly experienced the hospitality of more than two dozen PC(USA) congregations in Giddings-Lovejoy Presbytery Sunday for morning worship and then lunch.
On Sunday morning, 32 churches of Pittsburgh Presbytery will welcome General Assembly participants to join them in worship.
“As Presbyterians, we celebrate our unity through our heritage and polity and, ultimately, through our theological underpinnings,” said the Rev. Ted Martin, pastor at Hampton United Presbyterian Church in Gibsonia and a member of the COLA worship committee. “This Sunday represents a dynamic and real expression of our church seeking to follow Christ’s invitation for us to live as one around his table.”
Ask the Reverend Tom Hay, director of operations for the Office of the General Assembly, how long it is until the 220th General Assembly (2012), and he will answer to the minute.
For others, it is enough to know that fewer than 120 days remain until June 30th, when Cindy Bolbach, Moderator of the 219th General Assembly (2010), will convene the opening session at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh, Pa.
