​Highlights of the April 25 Meeting
Presbytery commissioners, pastors, corresponding members, and staff gathered at First Presbyterian Church in Macomb and on Zoom.

• We began the meeting with a Bible study created by the Committee on Accessibility, Representation, and Equity (CARE) that focused on belonging, hospitality, service, and spiritual giftedness.
• The Assembly  approved the Ministry Discernment Profile (MDP) written by the LPNC.
• The Operations Commission has contracted with the Rev. John Rickard, retired Presbyter from Blackhawk Presbytery, for 20 hours per week. He will begin on June 1.
• Rev. Bob and Kristi Rice, who have previously served in South Sudan as PC(USA) mission co-workers, will be moving to Ghana in late May with The Antioch Partners. 
• Rev. Ed Wegele, Peoria First Federated, was elected to serve on the Presbytery's Disaster Response Team.
• RE Jo Samara, Danvers First, was elected to serve on the Conflict Response Team.
• Worship was powerful. Rev. Mark Merrill, HR, offered beautiful prayers. Rev. Chuck Goodman, Springfield Hope, led the body in hopeful songs of resistance. Rev. Brandon Ouellette, Monmouth Faith United, preached on "The Church That Never Was" (Acts 2:42-47).
• ​The Assembly celebrated Lead Presbyter Ann Schwartz, who will retire on June 1, with a warm tribute from RE Nicole Morrow, Peoria United PC and member of the Operations Commission. She presented Ann with a generous gift certificate for a Broadway in Chicago show at the Nederlander Theater. The Macomb church provided a beautiful cake. Colleagues and friends shared cards and other expressions of affection and gratitude.
