Spring Presbytery Meeting - June 5, 2021 - via Zoom
Welcome to the June 5, 2021, meeting of Eastern Oklahoma Presbytery. As you know, because of the current global pandemic, plans to have a tri-presbytery meeting had to be changed for the safety of all. We are meeting via Zoom. Thank you in advance for your patience and help. Together we will accomplish our work.
This year, 2021, is the centennial of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. There have been and continue to be a myriad of educational opportunities offered, books, videos, speakers. The Centennial commission has drawn national and international figures to commemorate the event. A new museum, Greenwood Rising, has opened.
Oklahoma will be in the national spotlight during the remembrance of the 1921 tragedy. Peacemaking, healing and reconciliation begin with a time of lament. Our worship will offer a time of lamenting. Synod of the Sun has been involved in deepening our understanding of race relations. We thank Kristy Rodgers for her message at our meeting. Be prepared for communion with cup and bread.
While information from the various committees is printed for all to read prior to the meeting, for the most efficient use of time we will not read the reports. Questions are welcome and will be answered.
Today there is much grief and strife around the world, the pandemic in places that do not have enough resources, open war-conflict in Israel/Palestine, racial divisions in our society, inequities in many areas of life. As Christians we must be seekers of Truth and proponents of Love and Forgiveness. To bring about change God tills the soil of our hearts and minds with His Truth, making way for good things to grow. With the help of the Holy Spirit, through Jesus Christ we are to be practitioners of truth with patience, kindness and love. Looking forward to June 5 to meet with you again.
Blessings!
Nancy F Covington Moderator, EOP
