September 12, 2023
A Stated Meeting of the Presbytery of Blackhawk was held September 12, 2023 at Stronghold Camp and Retreat Center. The meeting highlight was welcoming and hearing from our three Kenyan guests representing Imenti Presbyteries of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa – our Kenya Partners. The message during our worship was given by Rev. Samuel Muratha who serves the PCEA as their Director of Mission.
Commissioners approved the Presbytery budget for 2024, the minimum terms of call for pastors for 2024, a new version of the Ecclesiastical Administrative Manual and heard reports from the various entities serving the Presbytery. We were pleased to commission two pastors to new commissions and one re-commissioning. Beginning in 2024, there will be four Presbytery Assembly meetings – dates to be announced.
