Training for Deacons
What does a Deacon do? Join to learn about the call to be a Deacon. We will discuss the unique ways the “ministry of compassion” is demonstrated in our congregations. As a caring arm of the church, deacons can model service for their congregation and community.
Basic Training for NEW Clerks of Session
Rev. Dr. Michael Wilson, Stated Clerk
“Initial Clerk Training” This is for elders who are assuming clerk duties for the first time, elders who are “coming back to clerking” after a time away, and anyone who wants a refresher on the duties of a Clerk. Led by Rev. Dr. Michael Wilson (Stated Clerk), we’ll go over the core roles of a clerk and the resources available to clerks.
Training for EXPERIENCED Clerks of Session
Rev. Sarah Kneier & Ruling Elder Dianne Yuninger
“Ongoing Clerk Conversations” This is an opportunity for elders who have been clerks to explore topics of interest to clerks -- including questions about minutes, rolls, and registers, electronic meetings -- designed in collaboration with those who will attend. Led by Rev. Sarah Kneier (Assistant Stated Clerk) and Ruling Elder Dianne Yuninger (Recording Clerk), we’ll delve deeper into what it means to be the “clerk.”
