Session

We are all called into the church of Jesus Christ by baptism, and marked as Christ’s own by the Holy Spirit.  This is our common calling, to be disciples and servants of our servant Lord.  Within the community of the church, some are called to particular service as ruling elders on the Session.  Ordination is Christ’s gift to the church, assuring that his ministry continues among us.  Through ordination, God provides for acts of care and compassion in the world, for the ordering and governance of the church, for the preaching of the Word and celebration of the sacraments.
