Topic: Moderator’s Workshop

So, you just were elected president of Consistory or moderator of Council. Now what? Or you were just elected to serve again and want some fresh ideas on how to lead your congregation faithfully. Where do you turn? Rev. Nayiri Karjian has prepared a session just for you that’s rich with “how to” advice and focused on the concerns of congregations like yours. In this session we invite the lay leaders of our congregations to share their hard-earned wisdom and to learn from one another.
