This last Saturday was our June Presbytery meeting and annual Day of Service, and I thought I\u2019d share a few highlights.<\/p>\n
The meeting lasted almost exactly one hour as planned, but several important actions and updates were included. As I mentioned last week, we have lost several Presbytery members in recent weeks; we were saddened to learn that Rev. John Najarian, former pastor of Claremont Presbyterian Church, had died on April 11. As we said farewell to several beloved friends and colleagues, we also saw several new faces at the meeting and Day of Service, including several folks from Interwoven New Worshiping Community.<\/p>\n
At the meeting, we voted to receive Rev. Trina Zelle, who has settled in Pasadena in her retirement. Trina has had extensive and varied experience in ministry, including pastoral ministry and community justice work. She has volunteered to help wherever the Presbytery needs her, and she has much to offer! The Administrative Commission for St. Andrew\u2019s Presbyterian Church completed their work, with thanks from the Presbytery. Rev. Ally Lee is transferring to Greater Atlanta Presbytery, where she is serving as Interim Pastor of Fayette Presbyterian Church in Fayetteville, Georgia. Sam Bang has resigned as CRE Co-Pastor for Northminster, and Rev. Charlie Campbell is continuing as half-time Pastor focusing on worship. And Rev. Elizabeth Wang\u2019s installation as Pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Altadena, was approved for Sunday, July 21, at 2 pm.<\/p>\n
Arcadia Community Church, whose corporation name is Arcadia Presbyterian Church, has taken on a new name for their ministry, Journey Community Church, reflecting both their mission statement \u201cWelcoming people on a spiritual journey to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ,\u201d and the regional reach of their ministry.<\/p>\n
