Edgcumbe Presbyterian Church

News & Events

In July, the Twin Cities hosted the
bi-annual gathering of the General Assembly (GA) of our denomination.  It was the 219th meeting of the Assembly to elect the denominations officers, vote on changes to the church constitution, and make other decisions affecting the whole denomination.

As usual GA-219 made many momentous and controversial decisions and
pronouncements, with topics ranging from a whole new constitution and a new
confession of faith to the definition of marriage and ordination standards.

Understanding Presbyterian language and process as well as the actual decisions of this summer can be daunting.  To facilitate further conversation and clarification, Pastor Phil will lead a seminar after worship on Sunday, August 22, to briefly discuss Presbyterian legislative process and some of the more interesting topics from GA-219.  All are welcome to join us in the parlor.

General Assembly Seminar August 22

EPC will do a photo directory this fall through Olan Mills. Their format has changed for the better, with a lot more flexibility on poses, backgrounds and choices, a lot more help from Olan Mills on promoting and scheduling, and a lot less sales pressure along with lower prices.

The date set for the photographer is Monday, September 13, here at Edgcumbe, (times to be announced). There may be a possible second photography date at Randolph Heights PC that same week. We are very excited for this opportunity! More
information, brochures, and sign-up will be available later this month.
