Develop relationships with and among the presbytery’s congregations with a strong commitment to their overall health and well-being Conduct regular visits to each congregation Communicate the needs or concerns of the congregations to the appropriate presbytery entity. (Particularly Commission on Leadership – this is to be done by the CoCN Member to the CoCN Chairperson, who then passes the information to the COL.) Recruit the members of and secure training for the Presbytery Response Team Key Focus Points – This is What the CoCN Members were asked to Keep in Mind: You are the TENDERS OF CONGREGATIONS and RELATIONSHIPS – The health and well-being of our congregations and their relationships with one another and the presbytery is your primary priority. You are the TENDERS OF COMMUNICATIONS – encouraging congregations to tell their stories; discover what congregations need and connect them with the resources of the presbytery; ensuring that the news and information from the presbytery finds its way into the congregations, so that everyone is in the loop In a sense, you are the PRESBYTERY’S DEACONS – as you become aware of needs and concerns, direct them to where they can find a response YOU ARE NOT: Conflict Solvers – but you will direct conflict matters to those who can assist in managing conflict The “Answer to Every Question” – but you will help them find their answers The One’s Who Ask for Money Automatic Pulpit Supply or Session Moderators when the Pastor is On Vacation or Study Leave Encouragements: Know your congregations’ pastors and leaders – help them to know you and see you as a helpful face Be prayerful – pray for your congregations and their leaders Celebrate significant moments with your congregations 1104 STANDARDS OF ETHICAL CONDUCT Approved by the 210th General Assembly (1998) Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
