St Mark's already has a "twinning" arrangement in Alabama, but exciting opportunities loom
Certain North Alabama Presbytery (NAP) congregations have expressed a desire to be in a year long partnership (perhaps longer) with a local congregation of Egoli Presbytery from July 1, 2009 thru June 30, 2010.
Expressions of this congregation to congregation partnership would consist of, but not necessarily limited to:
(1) Electronic (email) sending of church news briefs or newsletters to partner church once quarterly or website posting.
(2) Include in printed communications to congregation members (newsletters, bulletins, or email tree) prayer concerns and programme needs of partner congregation.
(3) Voice aloud at least once a month in corporate worship (through the Prayers of the People or Pastoral Prayers) petitions to God on behalf of partner congregation.
The question now is how we do this. Via our new blog site, which gives a grand overview of our activities and e-mail? A telephonic option would be problematic in view of the time difference. Have a look at the Poll question in the right hand column and let us have your view.
In my view the web site is the way to go. We can then print responses from the churches twinning with us for distribution to the congregation.
