Learning Community: Disaster 101

Ruling Elder Mike Wills

Acts 20: 28 tells us “…Keep watch over yourselves and all your flock, of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseer to shepherd the church of God…” We undoubtedly have a responsibility to care for not only our own “flock” but also to aid in the recovery of our neighbors who are affected by disasters. To aid in identifying and helping to fulfill this responsibility, members of Presbyterian Disaster Assistance will be conducting a presentation on “Disaster 101” at the February Presbytery Gathering.

Topics covered will be the nature and phases of disaster and recovery, clarifying what PDA itself does and does not do in disaster work, ideas and direction for individual churches to prepare for disasters that may affect them, and actions needed to facilitate the mobilization of Presbytery resources to aid in disaster recovery in our local communities.

Voting Commissioners for all Meetings:

All sessions are permitted to elect at least 1 Ruling Elder Commissioner.  Churches with memberships over 100 will be represented as follows: 100-299 - 2 Ruling Elders; 300-499 - 3 Ruling Elders; 500-999 - 4 Ruling Elders; 1000-1499 - 5 Ruling Elders & Above 1500 - 6 Ruling Elders.  All other Ruling Elders or members are invited to attend the Presbytery Meeting as guests.
