The meeting will begin in the church with Registration at 9:30 a.m. including time for fellowship and light breakfast snacks and coffee. We will worship together in the sanctuary; and then there will be a brief pause while we adjourn to Westminster Hall ( across the street from the sanctuary) for the meeting, lunch and the post meeting training. In person registration at the church will close at 10:30 a.m. and those arriving past that time will need to proceed to Westminster to join the meeting at the conclusion of worship.

The presbytery meeting will not be livestreamed. All voting commissioners need to be able and willing to be present in person at First Presbyterian Church of Independence.

Following the meeting we are inviting you to stay for a training with Sean Chow. You can either bring or buy your lunch from Thelma's Kitchen (will be delivered to the meeting). Sean will help us to imagine together with our congregational leadership and communities what is the role and vocation of our congregations.
