Q. Will you be governed by our church’s polity, and will you abide by its discipline? Will you be a friend among your colleagues in ministry, working with them, subject to the ordering of God’s Word and Spirit?

I will!

Attending the Retreat for Ministers of Word and Sacrament of the Presbytery of Cincinnati, Monday, September 27 (noontime) through Wednesday, September 29 (after breakfast) is a great way to be a “friend among your colleagues in ministry!”

WHERE – Higher Ground Conference Center in West Harrison, Indiana, just across the border off I-74 from Harrison, Ohio. We had a retreat there two years ago and look forward to enjoying the same wonderful facilities, food, and fellowship together!

HOW TO SIGN UP– Right now (May, 2010) we’re starting to anticipate how many people will come for all or part of the Retreat. If you know your availability, or can at least make an intelligent guess, please contact Chris Torrey at Lakeside Presbyterian Church (859-341-1963) . Registrations will begin later in the summer.

DETAILS – Costs, roommate options, what to bring, program details, and other specifics will be forthcoming. Scholarship help will be provided on a need basis. We can pro rate your cost based on how many meals you’ll attend and how many nights you’ll be staying!

WHO – If you’re a Minister of Word and Sacrament, we hope you’ll attend. If you’re attending Presbytery and your Minister isn’t, please hand her or him this page, with encouragement to attend!
