Presbyterian Promise Scholarship: The Presbyterian Promise Scholarship is a commitment by Presbyterian College (PC) to recognize students for their merit and affiliation with the Presbyterian Church. PC seeks to develop students academically and spiritually in this signature scholarship. Students who are of members of Presbyterian churches will receive a scholarship for a minimum of $20,000 per year for up to four years—that’s an $80,000 commitment to you. For more information and to apply visit www.presby.edu/presbyterian-promise
Book of Order Amendments Booklet: The Presbytery of Boston will vote on the Amendments to the Book of Order at its December Stated Meeting on December 8. The 225th General Assembly (2022) approved 33 proposed amendments to the Book of Order—including a replacement for the entire D-section—to be considered and voted on by the 166 presbyteries prior to July 9, 2023. For an amendment to be adopted, 84 presbyteries must vote to approve it.
The booklet is now available in English; Spanish and Korean translations are in process.
Presbytery stated clerks will use the Portal to report their results. Please submit your reports on each proposed amendment as soon as your presbytery takes action; it will assist those who will work to prepare the new edition of the Book of Order. Because the Book of Order as amended will go into effect on the same day as the final reporting deadline (see G-6.04), suspense isn’t helpful when it comes to publishing the 2023–2025 edition.
Connect Throughout the Week: We have two opportunities during the week to connect for support and encouragement. The login information can be found in the Presbytery calendar on the website.
Mondays at 10:00 am
Tuesdays at 3:00 pm
