For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future with hope. Jeremiah 29:11 The following congregations are committed to the 3rd Cluster of Partnership for Missional Church. Several more have indicated that they are interested. Penn Wynne Forest Grove Willow Grove Darby Newtown For more information click logo God does have a future for our congregations and their ministries. Sometimes that future is clear and other times somewhat foggy. The Partnership for Missional Church is a process of discerning God’s promised and planned future for your ministry as a congregation. Congregations, through the Partnership for Missional Church process, develop leaders, build engagement with and within the congregation, and connect the church with its neighbors and God’s mission in the community. It is the work of the Holy Spirit, which blows where it will. And blow it does. Through Partnership forMissionalChurch, a church learns to hoist their sails and catch the wind of the Spirit. Like sailing, PMC involves skills and habits to help along the journey of Missional discernment. When Churches complete the PMC journey they have a deeper understanding of how God is sending them into the community. They have built relationships in the community and found ways to connect with God’s mission in those relationships. And, they have captured those learnings in documents that say who they are, how they are being sent and the future they believe God has for them. Your congregation is invited to join the 3rd Cluster of the Partnership for Missional Church. This cluster will begin in October or when we have 9 committed congregations. If you would like additional information or your congregation is ready to participate please contact Jeanne Radak at jradak@presbyphl.org or call at 215-242-1400 ext. 313. Presbytery Staff and members of other PMC congregations are available to talk with your session.
