Change of Plans!We are having to swap locations for our April and September meetings. The International Furniture Market will be held in High Point the same weekend as our planned meeting at River Oaks Community Church in near-by Clemmons. This has caused a run on hotel rooms, filling many hotels and causing higher prices for those rooms that are still available. So, the folks at River Oaks and Lake Forest Church have graciously agreed to swap meeting dates. Thank you to both of these congregations for hosting us and being flexible with their schedules. It takes a lot of work to host around 250 people for a meeting like ours. Lord, bless them for hosting us! Our 95th Stated Meeting on April 24-25, 2020 will now be held at Lake Forest Church in Huntersville, NC. Our 96th Stated Meeting on September 25-26, 2020 will now be held at River Oaks Community Church in Clemmons, NC. The plan for 2021 is for each Missional Region to meet in different locations within their regions. Dates and locations are to be determined. Stay tuned for more information on that. We look forward to seeing you all in Huntersville in April! Multiplication Transition Newsletters The Presbytery of the Mid-Atlantic Multiplication Transition Team is offering regular updates on our plans to transition to three missional regions and ultimately into three distinct Presbyteries. Please click on this link for the latest news. Transition Prayer Initiative Presbytery of the Mid-Atlantic asks all of its churches to be in prayer about our ongoing transition to three Missional Repions and ultimately into three presbyteries. To help with this initiative, we have created a bulletin insert for use in your church. You can download an PDF version of this insert here. See PMA Directory of Worshiping Communities to identify the Missional Region for each church. Click here or on the map below for for an interactive version of the Missional Region Map.  Proposed PMA Transition Timeline  Presbytery of the Mid-Atlantic Multiplication Transition Team proposed the timeline above to move from one presbytery in three missional regions to three distinct presbyteries. The transition will occurs in several steps outlined above.
At its 91st meeting, the Presbytery of the Mid-Atlantic voted 136-11 to move forward with the vision of multiplying from one to three presbyteries. Initially, we will begin to move toward three missional regions and when structure and finances are developed in each of the regions, the PMA will multiply into three new presbyteries. This will likely take us 3-5 years and will require approval of the General Assembly. Thanks to the Presbytery Multiplication Study Team led by Dr. Bill Enns and including Moderator Duke Lineberry, Scott McGregor, Ken Priddy, Powell Sykes, Jan Teagle, and Wes Vander Lugt.
