Transformation 2.0: CDTF seeks learning cohorts
The presbytery's Congregational Development Task Force (CDTF) is ready to talk with congregations and groups of congregations or individuals who have ideas about starting new worshiping communities.  We are ready with some resources, denominational contacts, and encouragement.  Please contact Kevin Stainton pastor@hpcmason.org.  

We are also inviting congregations and worshiping communities of the Presbytery to be part of a process to learn to discern how God is at work in and among us. We invite you to take a first step, to join in transformation as the congregations of the Presbytery of Cincinnati create a bold partnership with God's work.

We envision a series of Learning Communities, where we can take a clear-eyed look at what God is doing in our neighborhoods, and engage with that work in new and meaningful ways.

Please contact a member of the Task Force or Kevin Stainton pastor@hpcmason.org.  We would like to hear from you by the November presbytery meeting.

Jim Petro served as Attorney General of Ohio from 2003 to 2007. A Republican, he has been publicly committed to strong law-and-order platforms, and he launched a breakthrough effort that added 210,000 criminal DNA profiles from Ohio to the national DNA CODIS database. His 37 years as an attorney include almost three decades of service as an elected official including state representative and Ohio Auditor of State.

 

Nancy Petro has 35 years of experience in marketing, publishing, and business management and has taken an active role in her husband's political career.
