Spring 2020 Stated Meeting

By Leave a Comment

The SC Presbyterian Convocation scheduled for May 15-16, 2020 has been cancelled. You will be notified about plans for our Spring meeting as soon as they are made.

An orientation for commissioners will be held at 9:00 am. Please elect your elder commissioners and ensure your church is represented at the meeting.

It is important that all elder and minister commissioners from each church download the handbook when it becomes available and read it thoroughly prior to the meeting so that they can actively participate in the meeting.  All commissioners have voice and vote at the meeting and may ask questions or pull an item from the consent agenda for more discussion.  Please see the “Standing Rules” on page 2 of the handbook for more information.  You may submit a motion or amendment in writing to the Stated Clerk using the form on page 3. You are also encouraged to contact the Stated Clerk, Associate Stated Clerk, Moderator, or Committee/Ministy Team/Commission chairperson if you have questions prior to the meeting.

Presbytery Joys Video: We will share presbytery joys in video form during the meeting. If you would like for your church or event to be included, please send photos taken since our last presbytery meeting (February 22) along with a brief one-line description to dblackwelder@capresbytery.org by Monday, May 11.

Excused Absence: If you are a minister member of presbytery who is not able to attend, please send notice to Barbara Burger by May 11.

2020 Puerto Rico Mission Trip

By Leave a Comment

Due to the rapid spread of COVID-19 in the US and world, CAP’s mission trip with the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance has been postponed to Fall 2020 – stay tuned for more information.

On September 20, 2017, Hurricane María hit Puerto Rico with winds in excess of 155 miles per hour. The Category 4 storm left millions homeless, destroyed the island’s power grid, and killed thousands. Last year, CAP sent a team of eight volunteers to work with Presbyterian Disaster Assistance in the early stages of rebuild- ing. The team worked to prepare an empty school owned by the First Presbyterian Church of Aguada to house future mission teams. This year, we will send another team to continue the ongoing work of bringing hope out of chaos through the ministry of Presbyterian Disaster As- sistance. Please keep the mission team in your prayers as they prepare for their trip.
